AMBROSE, Ga. (Farm Monitor) — Protecting the family farm is more than a policy issue for Georgia State Representative Angie O’Steen — it’s personal.
Agriculture was not always part of O’Steen’s plans. However, after marrying into a farming family in South Georgia, she gained a firsthand appreciation for the industry and the important role it plays in communities across the state.
Today, O’Steen has become one of agriculture’s strongest advocates in the Georgia State Capitol, using her personal experiences to support farmers and rural communities.
