20 Years of Georgia Agriculture Trends

For more than two decades, the Georgia Farm Gate Value Report has offered a comprehensive analysis of the county-level production value for commodities in Georgia’s No. 1 industry, agriculture. The reports provide essential data to the state’s farmers and present University of Georgia Cooperative Extension agents with a resource to interact and build relationships with producers in the state’s 159 counties.

Now the UGA College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences (CAES) is providing Georgia’s farmers with a new tool: Georgia Farm Gate Value 20-Year Trends.

While the annual farm gate reports share insight on rankings and dollar value data for Georgia’s commodities, the new farm gate trends will instead look at percent change across more than 20 years of data.

“Using percent change gives an idea of trends, which can tell us more of a story than the numbers,” said Ben Campbell, associate professor in the Department of Agricultural and Applied Economics and UGA Extension coordinator.
