1
This is a peach.
2
Soft, fuzzy, sweet, and oh -so -delicious.
3
When you get a really good peach, it's a tremendous kind of sensory experience.
4
The U .S produces 600 ,000 tons of this stone fruit each year, and it's synonymous with one place, Georgia.
5
That's one of those Georgia peaches.
6
Georgia peaches.
7
Those are considered the best.
8
In your outfit, you look like a little Georgia peach.
9
It's on license plates and road signs and at the end of almost every film you've ever watched.
10
There's even an entire county named after it.
11
But here's the thing.
12
Despite its nickname, Georgia doesn't even produce the most peaches in the U .S.
13
So there's an act of myth -making it's really not a southern fruit in particular.
14
So how did Georgia become the peach state?
15
A peach is what's called a stone fruit, meaning there's a hard pit at the center.
16
There are clingstones, which cling tightly to the pit, and freestones, which pull away cleanly.
17
They could be yellow or white, fuzzy or smooth.
18
Those are nectarines, same fruit, just no fuzz.
19
And like most crops grown in the U .S., peaches came from somewhere else.
20
The earliest evidence we have for peach usage dates back to China around 7 ,000 years ago.
21
They came to Europe via the Silk Road, and so they acquired the scientific name Prunus persica because it was assumed they originally came from Persia.
22
From there, Spanish explorers carried peach bits across the Atlantic in the 1500s and planted them across Florida, where Native Americans used them for food and medicine and spread them up the coast.
23
So by the time English colonists arrived in Virginia in the early 1600s, peaches were abundant.
24
But they weren't glamorous.
25
Most peach usage seems to have been for foraging hogs and making cider and brandy.
26
It tastes like peach brandy to me.
27
No one was calling it a state symbol.
28
It would take a war, a broken economy, and a new generation of horticulturalists to turn
29
that idea into an industry when the civil war ended george's economy was shattered
30
because cotton had built the old south there's a really strong push among a lot of newspaper men
31
and sort of upper class folks in the south to develop
32
a new reputation like a new face for the south there was also in georgia really active horticultural society
33
so there's a lot of language like queen peach is dethroning king cotton to sort of say georgia is doing something different.
34
We're making a new kind of agricultural civilization.
35
Peaches were already growing in Georgia, but getting them to market was the issue.
36
They bruise easily and spoil fast, so if Georgia was going to build a new identity around this fruit, it needed a peach that could travel.
37
Enter Samuel Rumpf.
38
In Georgia, the most important commercial peach variety was developed.
39
It was called the Alberta by Samuel Henry Rumpf, done in Marshallville.
40
Rumpf likely crossed Chinese cling with a yellow freestone known as early Crawford.
41
However, he was never able to provide a clear genealogy for the Alberta.
42
He named it after his wife.
43
That was also kind of an important move for, you know, a Southern gentleman.
44
And at the same time Rumpf was experimenting in his orchards, something else was changing.
45
The development of refrigerated transport, that was a key part of getting the commercial industry going in the South.
46
Georgia really is kind of the first peach growing region that's
47
shipping at a considerable distance to some of the big marketplaces of the north.
48
There were at one time more Alberta peaches grown than any other fruit variety.
49
By the early 1900s, Georgia was known for its peaches.
50
Labels on crates shipped north featured the word Georgia front and center.
51
Macon, Georgia hosts a big peach carnival in the 1890s.
52
That culminates in the 1920s in Peach County.
53
Peaches were becoming something people in Georgia rallied around.
54
There were pies and cobblers and crisps.
55
Even during During World War I, peach pits were burnt down and packed into the filters of gas masks.
56
But despite their many uses, peaches never really did overtake cotton.
57
Peaches were never more important than cotton economically, as far as I can tell.
58
Peaches fit kind of hand in glove with the cotton economy, especially with regard to labor.
59
But the story stuck.
60
More than a century after the Alberta peach was introduced, Georgia made it official.
61
In 1995, the peach became the state fruit.
62
But today, George's reputation is bigger than its harvest.
63
no antibiotics, and no growth hormones.
64
So when you're on your next grocery run, consider checking out Stonyfield Organic Yogurt.
65
It's also important to note that Stonyfield Organic didn't dictate the content of the story, but their support made this tasty reporting possible.
66
now back to peaches south carolina and california have both overtaken peaches
67
and and today california produces by far the most peaches in the country
68
but even they're dwarfed by china china produces way more in
69
peaches than anybody else in the world by the 1920s nearly
70
150 000 acres of peaches were planted across the state
71
but by 2017 georgia just had nearly 12 000 acres of peaches left in georgia peaches
72
and the people growing them look different today the mostly black labor forest
73
that powered these early orchards declined during the great migration
74
and modern orchards rely heavily on immigrant labor mainly through h2a guest worker programs
75
and labor isn't the only challenge peaches needed a certain amount
76
of chill hours every winter time below 45 degrees to reset
77
and bloom properly in the spring too much cold and there's risk
78
if peach trees start to bloom
79
and then there's a late freeze you can lose most of
80
your crop in 2023 some georgia growers reported losing more than 90 % of their peaches.
81
The season was described as disastrous.
82
But despite all this, Georgia is still the peach state.
83
At that moment when the South was really looking for this sort of new reputation, a new face, peaches were there.
84
They were emerging as a major crop.
85
I think there's been a continuation of a maintenance of the myth.
86
Because it turned peaches into a story.
87
And that lasts longer than any crop ever could.
88
Where we're doing really cool stuff, like chats with our reporters, and where Dolly just did a taste test of all the different bananas she found in her last video.
89
It's so important to support independent journalism.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
