* Farmer of the Year. Dairy farmer Everett Williams, of Morgan County, was
named the Georgia Farmer of the Year
by Gov. Nathan Deal at a ceremony
in Atlanta March 21. Williams will

of the year from
Alabama, Arkansas,
Florida, Kentucky,
Mississippi, North
Carolina, South
Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia will
vie for the top award, which will be
announced at the Sunbelt Ag Expo in
Moultrie in October.
* Outdoors GA app. The Georgia Department of Natural Resources' Wildlife
Resources Division recently updated
its Outdoors GA app, allowing hunters
to check their harvest without needing
cell service. The app provides quick
access to Georgia hunting and fishing
regulations, contains an electronic
copy of users' licenses and helps users
find public fishing areas, boat ramps
and wildlife management areas nearby.
It is available through the Apple or
Google Play store by searching "Outdoors GA."
