Georgia Department of Agriculture Celebrates Georgia Ag Week March 17th – 23rd

ATLANTA, GA – The Georgia Department of Agriculture invites all Georgians to join in celebrating Georgia’s farmers and the state’s #1 industry during Georgia Ag Week, March 17-23, 2025. This week-long celebration honors the resilience and dedication of Georgia’s farm families, who are the backbone of the state’s economy. 

“Georgia Ag Week offers a unique opportunity for all Georgians to celebrate the incredible work of our farmers — who fuel the success of our #1 industry and provide the food, fiber, and shelter we all rely on,” said Agriculture Commissioner Tyler J Harper. “This year, as Georgia’s farm families continue the long recovery from Hurricane Helene, supporting our agricultural community is more important than ever. We invite all Georgians to participate in this celebration and show their support for Georgia’s farmers.”
