Key messaging
Snow can have significant impacts on Georgia farmers and their crops, causing physical damage, delayed growth and even yield loss. Understanding how to prepare for and respond to these weather events is essential for producers to minimize losses and protect their livelihoods. By staying informed about weather forecasts, implementing protective measures and knowing how to recover after a storm, farmers can safeguard their crops and ensure resilience in the face of unpredictable weather.
