CAES Images
Photo database
We've got photos! Whether you're searching for that perfect image of cotton or just looking for a few photographs that represent the college, the CAES image database is a great place to start. This new system was developed as an educational resource for our faculty, staff, researchers and clients. Images include research facilities, students, animals, crops, labs and 4-H centers, programs and camps. But that's only the beginning. As we take more photos, the image database will continue to grow.
Visit CAES Images and don't forget to bookmark the page. There's no telling when you'll be needing it!

Contribute Training
Web training opportunities for county offices
Training sessions specifically for county employees will be offered in Brunswick on Oct. 31 and Albany on Nov. 1. These trainings are for those who will be creating and updating their county websites using the CAES templates and Adobe Contribute software.
County coordinators who have yet to send a representative or whose trained employee has left are particularly encouraged to choose a Web content manager to attend.
If you are interested in training, please email your name, title and program area; county and district; email address; phone number; and the date and location you would like to attend training to contrib@uga.edu.

Georgia Agricultural Resources
Georgia agriculture at a glance
If you need quick access to Georgia agriculture facts and figures, check out CAES's Georgia Agricultural Resources website. The site is full of historical, statistical and economic tidbits on the agriculture economy, individual commodities, organizations, institutions and other good Web sites.
So, the next time you are stumped writing a news article or speech, struggling to find what you need for a PowerPoint or poster, don't sweat it. Just click on Georgia Agricultural Resources.
This is also a great educational site to share with students and teachers. We've had reports of teachers using the site during Georgia Agriculture Week, or throughout the school year to help students apply math skills, learn Georgia history, economics and civics.
