UGA Southwest Georgia Research and Education Center to host annual Field Day

PLAINS, GA – Local growers, ag professionals, and researchers are invited to attend the Southwest Georgia Research and Education Center’s annual Field Day, scheduled for Wednesday, August 13, 2025.

Held at 108 Experiment Station Road in Plains, this event offers a hands-on look at cutting-edge research and best practices in agriculture, with a strong focus on row crop production this year.
