One of the last stops was UGA Grand Farm in Perry, GA. Kaytlyn Cobb, Lenín Rodríguez, and Anthony (Tony) N. Llano got to share about their work bringing the partners and site to life.

Special thanks to Drs. Lauren Lazaro and Nicholas Basinger for their immense support of the USDA National Proving Grounds Network on the site. They have been a big help as we've launched the weed challenges of this year.

Grand Farm is only possible through partnerships, and I am so proud to call Georgia one of our largest.
