I haven’t been on Twitter in a while! I am so excited to be apart of this on-going research project and working collaboratively with @pnutsusa, @georgiapeanuts, & @CottonInc!
Congratulations to the Georgia Cotton & Peanut Project for being selected as a 2022 Field to Market Project Spotlight Honoree!
This project has made great strides in advancing #sustainability in Georgia.
After more than a decade of research, a free, online tool provides farmers with a reliable way to measure sustainability.
Now, a #UGAresearch project with @GAPrecisionAg is helping farmers use the tool to improve their sustainability over time.

“Now is not the time to dig our heels in and say this is what my grandfather or my father did. We have to be willing to change our growing practices and provide brands, retailers and consumers the products they want.” -Lee Nunn, #USCTP grower member from Georgia #BWCC22

Do you have something or someone who made an large impact on your life? I sure do, her name was Helga, my first bottle calf. I got the call this afternoon that after 19.5 years (you read that right!!) she is grazing greener pastures. She taught me many lessons I’ll always cherish

Happy #WorldCottonDay! I’m excited to work with South GA #cotton growers to assist them in understanding cotton sustainability utilizing the Fieldprint Calculator through @FieldtoMarket. The future is looking bright for providing a safe and viable fiber source!
