Spring Break Tour through Georgia Agriculture
About the Tour
University of Georgia students have the rare opportunity to spend spring break traveling and exploring the vast industry that is Georgia Agriculture, while earning three hours of UGA credit in an A-F graded course.
This week-long tour, led by CAES faculty and staff allows students to visit and meet industry professionals engaged in a variety of Georgia commodities. The tour changes each year, but some of our stops have included Lewis Taylor Farms, Mercier Orchards, and many more locations that highlight the diverse areas of agriculture that the state has to offer.
There is a $250 fee associated with the tour, which covers the cost of all lodging and travel expenses, as well as some meals. A $100 deposit is due by 5:00 p.m. Tuesday, December 17, 2024 and the remaining balance is due by 5:00 p.m. Friday, January 10, 2025. Students enrolled in the associated course, AESC 4530, will be required to meet on Mondays, from 3:00 p.m. - 3:50 p.m., during the spring semester. This tour is open to both undergraduate and graduate students. Please contact Caroline Hinton for more information.
