Lyerly, Ga. (Farm Monitor) — Garrett Hurley is working to ensure the opportunities that shaped his family’s farm remain available for future generations.
The northwest Georgia cotton and cattle producer serves as chairman of Georgia Farm Bureau’s Young Farmers and Ranchers Committee, where he regularly hears the concerns from young producers across the state.
As Hurley plans for the future, he says one of his biggest goals isn’t just growing his own farm, it’s growing opportunity for everyone.
