Show Notes
U.S. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins announces $500 million relief for Georgia farmers affected by Hurricane Helene. Funds will be distributed through a block grant, with applications opening next week. This comes as Georgias farm economy faces a challenging period, with a significant increase in Chapter twelve bankruptcy filings and rising costs for farming essentials. Lawmakers from both parties react, with some welcoming the aid and others calling for further action. South Georgia blueberry farmer and State Senator Russ Goodman emphasizes the importance of hard work and resilience in the face of ongoing challenges.
