The TAG Workshop for Small and Beginning Farmers March 22 at Fort
Valley State University offers timely information that can make a
big difference on small farms.

TAG, or Team Agriculture Georgia, is a team created by the U.S.

Georgia. Its purpose is to find ways to collaborate in helping
small and beginning farmers in Georgia.

marketing, water management, vegetables, fruit and pecan
orchards, financing small farms, goats and small livestock,
ponds, organic farming, aquaculture and alternative crops.

The program will begin with 8 a.m. registration in the C.W.
Pettigrew Farm & Community Life Center in Fort Valley, Ga. It
