Each year, Governor Perdue recognizes Georgia farmers practicing
environmentally sustainable farming practices.
What a wonderful way for you to show your appreciation to a local
hard-working and innovative farmer by encouraging them to fill out the
application to receive well-deserved recognition for being good
stewards of the land. Deadline for the application is Dec. 1st.

Five district winners are selected for the award each year. This year,
only district winners will be required to submit supporting
documentation. Past district winners are eligible to apply. Judges
will visit each district winner's farm. Based on their
recommendations, Governor Perdue will announce the state winner at the
fifth annual Agricultural Awareness Week in Atlanta on March 17. For
more information, call Donnie Smith at (229) 386- 3104.
