Ray D'Alessio and Jennifer Parson are back with your front-row seat to everything happening across Georgia agriculture — and this week's edition is packed with great stories from the field, the Gold Dome, and the kitchen!
First, despite early weather challenges and rising production costs, Georgia's sweet corn growers are delivering. Find out why consumers can expect to see plenty of Georgia-grown sweet corn hitting store shelves this summer — and what it took to get it there.
Then, we continue our Farmer Lawmaker series with State Senator Lee Anderson, a lifelong farmer who says the lessons he learned working the land continue to shape every decision he makes in Atlanta. His story is one of roots, responsibility, and fighting for the people who feed Georgia.
And later, think you don't like zucchini? Think again. This month on Meals from the Field, UGA Extension Specialist Dr. Tracey Brigman shows us two delicious ways to sneak that garden staple into dinner and dessert — and the best part? Your family may never even know it's in there.
All of this and more — starting right now on The Farm Monitor!
