Agriculture & Natural Resources
Walker County continues its tradition as an agricultural community. With more than 81,000 acres in farmland and a farm gate value for agricultural products of over $60 million, Walker County farmers benefit from UGA research-based information.
County agriculture agents answer farmers' questions, make farm visits, and even invite UGA specialists to the county to offer educational programs often focusing on one of the top three agriculture commodities - livestock, poultry and row crops.
You don't have to own a farm to benefit from the county agents' expertise. Many agricultural-related services benefit the general public including:
GENERAL SERVICES
- Local Weather Station at the Butler Farm in Kensington, GA
- Soil Testing
