On this episode of The Farm Monitor, the team has been on the road across Georgia bringing you the latest stories from the state’s number one industry.
First, we take a look at tobacco production in South Georgia — a crop that has lost nearly 90 percent of its growers over the past few decades, yet still plays a vital role in many rural communities. Why producers say the 2026 season could be a pivotal year for the industry.
Then, we introduce you to a Georgia state representative who didn’t leave the farm behind when he entered politics. See how his firsthand experience in agriculture is helping keep farming issues front and center at the Capitol.
And later, a longtime farmer opens the door to a surprising personal discovery — one that reveals a deeper story and memories that go far beyond the farm.
All that and more on this episode of The Farm Monitor.
