Elbert County Agriculture Directory Submissions?

From time to time, our office receives calls from members of the community requesting referrals, as a service of Cooperative Extension. In response, we have begun compiling a list of individuals and businesses in Elbert County that provide agricultural products or services.

Local Agriculture-Related Services

Do you wish to be added to the Service Directory above? Do you:

• Cut & bale and/or sell hay?

• Remove feral hogs, other pests, or honeybee hives?

• Sell/haul/apply lime, fertilizer, or litter?

• Own a dump truck, skid steer, or other heavy machinery for clearing land?

• Provide another agricultural service?

If so, please complete the Agriculture Directory submission form and return it to our office to be added to our directory.

Local Agriculture-Related Products

The Elbert County Extension Office is also compiling a list of products raised or made here in Elbert County. The database we currently have on file is several years old and needs to be recreated. Producers on this list will receive updates, program flyers, and educational information relative to the livestock and crops they raise. This list will also help our Agriculture & Natural Resources agent, Patrick Marcellino, develop programs that will be most beneficial to our local farmers and homesteaders. We encourage all Elbert County farmers (whether you raise 2 hogs, a half-acre of seasonal vegetables, 10 chickens, 50 acres of row crops, or 100 head of cattle) to complete the Agriculture Directory submission?form and return it to our office, so that we may provide you with resources specific to your interests, as well as opportunities to connect with consumers when possible.

The long-term goal in creating these lists is to develop a network of farmers that can learn from one another, meet regularly, and cultivate a cooperative system to bring economic development to Elbert County. Your involvement would be both valuable and appreciated.

If you have any questions or suggestions, please contact our office.
