Farm Bureau named as one of state’s top 15
The Jackson County Farm Bureau was recognized as one of the top 15 county Farm Bureau programs in the
state for the activities it sponsored during the past year to promote agriculture.
Jackson County Farm Bureau president Greg Pittman accepted the award during the 69th annual Georgia
Farm Bureau Convention held in Jekyll Island Dec. 2-4.
Founded in 1937, Georgia Farm Bureau is the state’s largest general farm organization. There are 159 Farm
Bureau chapters across the state.
Program helps low-income families save money
The Georgia
Environmental
Facilities Authority’s
(GEFA) Weatherization
Assistance Program
recently hosted a site
demonstration on mea
sures that homeown
ers can take to increase
home energy efficiency
and to lower their energy
bills.
“The need for increased
energy efficiency contin
ues to rise as the state of
Georgia grows and we
require more energy,”
said GEFA executive
director Chris Clark.
“Georgia’s
Weatherization
Assistance Program
helps low-income fami
lies save money through
energy efficiency and
it demonstrates effec
tive steps that all of us
can take in our homes to
conserve energy,” Clark
added.
The Weatherization
Assistance Program
(WAP) works with
low-income families
to reduce energy costs
by providing free home
energy efficiency testing
and solutions for individ
uals and families whose
incomes do not exceed
150 percent of the fed
eral poverty level (about
$30,000 for a family of
four). Preference is given
to the elderly, people with
disabilities and families
with children.
Last year in Georgia,
2,467 homes were weath-
erized, serving 3,618 cli
ents. Nationally, weath
erization programs pro
vide energy-efficiency
services to nearly 100,000
homes on average every
year. Based on current
energy prices, weatheriz-
ing a home reduces aver
age annual energy costs
per household by $358 in
the first year alone.

Assistance Program, call
