With farm profits shrinking and input costs rising, Georgia farmers are making their voices heard in Washington, D.C. This week on The Farm Monitor, we take you to Capitol Hill as agricultural leaders push for policies that support farmers during challenging economic times.
Ray D’Alessio sits down with American Farm Bureau Chief Economist John Newton to discuss the farm economy and what the future could hold for producers feeling the financial pressure.
Plus, Kenny Burgamy talks with Georgia Farm Bureau President Tom McCall about the importance of having Georgia represented on the American Farm Bureau board.
And later, we head to Perry, where two high school seniors — and brothers — are turning long days in the barn into success in the show ring as they chase showmanship titles.
