New Sustainable Ag Website
Source of information on MIG systems
Looking for ways to increase the yield of animal products per acre and, in most cases, net profit per farm? A new sustainable agriculture website describes the basic principles and essential concepts of Management-Intensive Grazing. To learn more about the use and successes of MIG systems in Georgia, visit the Management-Intensive Grazing website.

Winter PSAs
Extension radio public service announcements
A set of Extension radio public service announcements for winter are posted and ready for agents to use with their local radio stations. You can find this quarter’s PSAs on-line at Marketing Extension: Resources: Public Service Announcements.
Look for new Extension radio PSAs each quarter. There is one for each program area: ANR, FACS and 4-H, plus one spot that is horticulture specific.
If you have ideas for good PSAs, send them to John Harrell at jharrell@uga.edu.

Walk Georgia
Extension banner program
Walk Georgia is an eight week, on-line physical activity program designed to help people get active in a fun, community-oriented way. People may participate in Walk Georgia as individuals or as a team of four people. Registration begins February 18.
This is a free program open to adults, youth, families, schools, community organizations and employers. While an email address is required to register, those without one can join as part of a team given the team captain has an email address. Starting the first week of March, participants can log real time physical activity virtually at www.walkgeorgia.org. The goal is to be active, whether you walk, bike, dance or do yard work. The program concludes on April 30.
To assist counties in promoting the Walk Georgia program, OC has provided materials and resources at Marketing Extension: Resources: Walk Georgia Promotional Materials.
