On July 13, Sonny Perdue, Secretary of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and his cousin U.S. Senator David Perdue met with forest landowners and forestry-related businesses from across the state at the Georgia Forestry Association’s (GFA) headquarters in Forsyth. Attendees were given the opportunity to discuss issues ranging from the 2018 Farm Bill, to markets for forest products and forest management issues.
“We were honored to host Secretary and Senator Perdue with our community in Forsyth,” GFA President and CEO Andres Villegas said. “We are proud to be represented by two individuals who care so much about working forests and understand our issues.”
