It's the halfway point of May, and Ray D'Alessio and Jennifer Parson are back with another packed edition of The Farm Monitor — your home for everything Georgia agriculture!
First, we take you to the fire line. South Georgia recently faced some of the most aggressive wildfires the region has seen in years, and the men and women of the Georgia Forestry Commission worked around the clock to battle the blazes. We go one-on-one with a pilot who witnessed it all from above, giving us a bird's-eye view of the fight to protect Georgia's forests and farmland.
Then, feral hogs have long been one of Georgia's most destructive invasive species — and new legislation could soon give farmers and landowners more tools to fight back. We break down what the new law could mean for those on the front lines of this ongoing battle.
And later, Georgia's beloved peach season may look a lot different this year. Find out what's behind the concerns and what it could mean for growers and consumers alike.
All of this and more — right now on The Farm Monitor!
