This year’s peach crop was es timated at 78.8 million bushels * —the largest crop in ten years, according to the USDA Consumer and Marketing Service.

If the freezer will be on in a few hours, your frozen food is safe. Food in a full freezer at zero degrees won’t thaw for two days. In a half filled freezer, food should keep well for a day. The larger the freezer and the better the insulation, the longer food will stay frozen. Before any emergency, locate the nearest place to get dry ice for your freezer in case power is off for more than a day or two. Saw a 50-pound chunk of dry ice into smaller pieces and set them on pieces of cardboard on top of frozen food packages. Wear gloves while handling ice. You could also arrange with a local freezer plant to transfer frozen food there in an emerg ency. Plan ahead—be prepared— but hope no emergency arises.
