The event will include information on post-disaster recovery, as well as suicide prevention.
Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Tyler Harper said, “Farm stress is at an all time high as our Ag Community continues to recover from Hurricane Helene and a historic drop in US Net Farm Income – I’d encourage all interested farmers to register.” Registration information can be found through the University of Georgia Extension website.
