In Georgia you see many pastures
rich and green in the coldest months.
They are used for wintering beef cows,
fattening steers, and increasing milk
production.
More than 14,000 of Georgia’s Future
Farmers have planted 50,000 acres of
this supplemental grazing since 1948.
In doing so, they learned much about
soil selection and preparation, liming,
fertilizing, pasture plants, seeding and
management.
Such work has been far-reaching in
its effect. By achievements on their
home farms the boys have demon
strated to families and neighbors that
good winter pastures are possible and
profitable.
In cooperation with the Vocational
Agriculture Department of the State
Department of Education, the Georgia
Power Company sponsors the annual
winter grazing awards program for
Future Farmers. This is only one of
seven programs we sponsor every year
for Georgia’s farm youth.
