The project, as a whole, is a daring initiative that relies on a distributed network of servers maintained by anonymous users all around the world with the purpose of protecting privacy.Īlthough Tor is the main core, the command-line approach it uses is slightly difficult to be digested by casual users. Tor, short for "The Onion Router", stands out as a cross-platform solution that enables online anonymity. Now replaced with Tor Browser Bundle, Vidalia Bundle was used as a controller for the Tor application, which is a popular privacy defender that prevents prying eyes from spying on your browsing habits. Internet privacy has always been a concern with all hidden eyes watching every website you access.
The client bundles have been replaced with the Tor Browser Bundle. It may be a little early to tell.Note: The Vidalia Tor client and relay bundles are no longer supported. “Some of the late crop, the jury is still out on some of those acres. “Neither problem has been significant,” Torrance said. What has been lost has been due to localized bacterial disease or to onions producing a seed stalk in fields, or what is called bolting, rendering them unmarketable. There has been relatively little crop loss. The onions going into cold storage will earn even more at market and should all be sold by September.
When they are pulled from fields, they are either sold on the market or held in cold storage to maintain quality until they are sold. By the first week in June it will get so hot, we’ll have to get them out or forget them,” Torrance said.Īll onion varieties are ready for harvest now, he said. Half of the crop has already left the field and harvest should be complete in three weeks. That’s only the second time I’ve seen that in 30 years.” “We couldn’t get onions out of the field with bulldozers pulling the tractors. “We will end up with about as much as last year, maybe a fuzz better, remembering last year 20 percent of the crop stayed in the field due to excessive spring rainfall,” he said. At current prices, Torrance estimates the 2010 crop will be worth $120 million to $150 million. “There is an onion shortage all over the world, now Georgia growers are benefiting,” Torrance said.įarmers each year plant an estimated 12,000 acres of Vidalia Onions, Georgia’s official vegetable. Over the season, prices typically average between $14 and $16 per 40-pound box, but this year that average likely will be in the mid-$20 range, he said. When the market opened the third week of April, prices started at $30 a unit. “The crop is coming in better than what we feared and the prices are just a bonus,” he said.įarmers are getting $22 to $24 for a 40-pound box of Vidalia Onions at market this week. Despite the wet weather, farmers are reaping good prices now at harvest, said Reid Torrance, the UGA Cooperative Extension coordinator in Tattnall County, where almost half of the crop is planted. Southeast Georgia, the state’s onion belt, weathered almost 20 inches of rain during planting time in November and December. After a soggy winter, spring and start to harvest, Georgia’s famous Vidalia Onion crop is hitting markets and looking good, according to a University of Georgia onion expert.
