Join Agriculture Commissioner Tyler Harper for the Seed to Shirt Experience at the Georgia National Fair

Perry, Ga - The Georgia National Fair is one month away!  Every year, over 500,000 visitors experience Georgia agriculture when they visit the Georgia National Fair. This October, when they step through the doors of the Georgia Grown building at the Fair, visitors will have the opportunity to explore a reimagined space in the center of the building featuring one of Georgia’s top commodities - cotton. Through a partnership with Georgia’s Rural Center, the Georgia Department of Agriculture, Georgia Grown, and Magnolia Loom, cotton is being put in the spotlight.

Additionally, we look forward to welcoming special guests and media for a ribbon cutting on Thursday, October 5th at 3:00 p.m.  Invitations will be sent in coming days.
