Thanks to farmers USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is celebrating Georgia conservationists in conjunction with Georgia Ag. Awareness Week March 18-24. Today, one in seven Georgians works in agriculture, forestry, or a related sector. This contributes more than $57 billion to Georgia's economic output. On an average day, Georgia farmers produce 23 million pounds of chicken, 11.7 million table eggs, 7 million hatching eggs and 75 tons of turkey meat. Timber is the highest valued crop in Georgia and in Emanuel County. Georgia also ranks first in the U.S. in the production of peanuts, pecans, rye, eggs and broilers. It leads the nation in broilers and value of egg production. Remember to thank a farmer today!
