Water and Tax Survey...Producers Urged to Complete Timely Survey about Critical Issues

Due to sales and property tax proposals likely to be introduced in the upcoming session of the Georgia legislature, we ask that you fill out the short survey below. The data will allow us to better represent your interests by analyzing the various proposals utilizing actual Georgia cattlemen information.

While we are at it, we thought we would take the time to ask a few helpful questions on water supplies and status.

You can also download the pdf here to send through the mail.
