COVID-19 Resources for Farmers
Farmers in Georgia have weathered many storms over the years. Working through adversity is not a novel thing for farmers, nor is it for Georgia Farm Bureau. Our organization was started to help farmers in the depths of the Great Depression and the purpose of our insurance company is to be there in times of crisis. Farmers worked together to make it through those challenges years ago, and together, we will work through new sets of challenges. Georgia farmers and Georgia Farm Bureau will continue, No Matter the Storm. If you are active on social media, we encourage you to share how you are #StillFarming.
