Commodity Teams

Agriculture is the largest segment of Georgia's economy, but it isn't just a way to make a living. It's also a way of life. From the north Georgia mountains through the rolling Piedmont, to the sandy coastal plains and the coastal marshes, the state's geography and climate provide perfect conditions for growing a wealth of commodities.

At the University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, commodity teams made up of research scientists and extension specialists work together to provide the latest technology and information for efficient, profitable production of some of Georgia's most valuable commodities.
