Georgia's Agriculture Industry is Weathered.
Let's Help Keep It Strong.
Hurricane Helene has brought devastation to the state of Georgia, but the impact on the farming community is especially dire. Farmers across the state are facing immense challenges and will be for months to come. In response, all of Georgia's leading agricultural partners are coming together to support those affected by this storm.
When crops are destroyed, we are all impacted. It is crucial that we support our farmers during this difficult time and band together to protect the future of our ag industry. Your contribution can make a significant difference in their recovery and in the preservation of a healthy, local agriculture industry. Please consider donating and also helping us spread the word about the campaign.
