Tobacco Becomes Permanent Money Crop In Georgia
An analysis shows Georgia tobacco brought nearly seventeen million dollars last year, surpassing peanuts which earned about thirteen and a half million. The peanut crop suffered from unorganized growth and quick dumping, but a Peanut Growers Cooperative Marketing Association based in Moultrie aims to organize for higher profits and price stability. Georgia tobacco is establishing itself as a major money crop, especially in South Georgia, with Moultrie earmarking a third large warehouse and dual buyer teams to market about ten million pounds. Colquitt County led in soil wealth, with over seven and a half million dollars, due to strong collaboration between bankers, business leaders, and farmers. Regional chambers of commerce, including Fort Gaines-Clay County and Griffin-Spalding, plan to visit Moultrie to learn the community-building model, centered on farm marketing and an experienced county agent funded by the chamber.
