Georgia Ag Impact Report

After years of serving as a trusted resource, the Ag Snapshots PDF has been retired to make way for something even better: the Georgia Ag Impact Report! This brand-new website offers interactive graphics and data visualizations that bring Georgia’s agricultural economy to life in a brand-new format.

The Georgia Ag Impact Report provides research-backed insights tailored to agricultural stakeholders, empowering them to support Georgia’s No. 1 industry. As a national leader in agricultural innovation and outreach, the University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences (CAES) is proud to share innovative research that cultivates a stronger, healthier Georgia.

Ag Snapshots from previous years will still live on the page as a reference, but the new website is your go-to source for up-to-date, dynamic information that’s easy to explore and share.
