CATOOSA, Ga. (Farm Monitor) — Bernard Sims, North Georgia vice president of the Georgia Farm Bureau, says adapting to change has helped keep his family’s farming operation moving forward.
Sims spent nearly four decades in the dairy business before transitioning to sod farming as the industry changed. While the next generation now runs the operation, he still spends time on the farm whenever he’s needed.
He says there’s no place he’d rather be than working the land that’s been part of his family’s story for decades.
