Agriculture

Growing up on a small farm in Greene County, Georgia, Mickey Channell knows firsthand the impact that agriculture has on our lives. He knows that family farms are the backbone of Georgia. As our state’s largest industry, agriculture generates more than $5.1 billion per year in cash receipts to the state’s economy and Mickey understands the industry is constantly changing. He wants to continue working hard to ensure that our farmers have the latest technology, research and development available to keep their competitive edge.

 

Mickey in Action

  • Key figure in passing the Southern Dairy Compact to offset long-term price hikes

  • Secured $100,000 for our local agriculture center

  • Stood up to misleading and abusive product dealers by increasing penalties for preying on farmers

  • Supported the Cotton Indemnity Fund

  • Removed farm limits to classify their land as conservation use
