WHAT IS FIELD NOTES
Field Notes by Terra 159™ isn’t a report gathering dust on a shelf. It’s Georgia’s agricultural news platform. We’re tracking the soil science, the policy shifts, and the local farmers feeding your neighborhood. Want to know which counties are thriving and where the food deserts are growing? We’ve mapped it. This is the tool for policy people who need data and for moms who just need to find a farm stand.
