The Georgia Foundation for Agriculture Fall Online Auction, held Sept. 27-Oct. 8, was a huge success, raising $25,755! Auction proceeds will help fund foundation programs including elementary ag education, scholarships, farmer mental health research and more.

This year’s auction featured nearly 130 items donated by more than 100 individuals and local businesses. The auction attracted about 1, 070 registered bidders.

The Georgia Foundation for Agriculture would like to thank all of the auction participants and prize donors. One lucky raffle participant, Deliah Gravitt, was the winner of 50 chicken halves donated by Harrison Poultry.

The success of this year’s event is due to the generous support from our donors and competitive bidders. Together, we are developing the next generation of successful farmers and Georgia ag leaders. Learn more about our programs by visiting https://www.gafoundationag.org.
