Pace urges fathers and sons at Americus banquet not to plant cotton
Congressman Stephen Pace told nearly 100 attending the Father-Son Banquet of the Future Farmers of America chapter at Americus High School that farmers should avoid cotton for several years due to glut and low prices. He urged growing meat, dairy, eggs, and other products Georgia imports, highlighting peanuts as a southern crop with tariff protection. Pace noted the oil value of peanuts and argued for policy shifts to support diversified farming and local oil use. He emphasized government aid should not be needed if farmers diversify and protect against foreign competition. Public figures and educators attended the event to back youth involvement in farming future.
