Breaking ground in Perry, Georgia
The University of Georgia’s College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, in collaboration with the North Dakota-based Grand Farm, broke ground on the UGA Grand Farm in Perry, Georgia, in May.
The 250-acre site will be a hub for agricultural innovation projects, demonstrating new technologies and automation focused on specialty crops from Georgia and the Southeast. The first projects are set to go live this year.
Field demonstrations in conjunction with the second annual Integrative Precision Agriculture Conference, hosted by UGA’s Institute for Integrative Precision Agriculture, was held in Perry in conjunction with the groundbreaking.
Grand Farm partners and members of the CAES Precision Horticulture Lab showed off their new technologies to conference attendees. Check out the highlights in the photo gallery above.
