Beth DeLoach Meeks jo<\/span>ins Jason Shaw at Georgia Olive Farms in Lanier County.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

Growing up on a farm in Lowndes County, Beth DeLoach Meeks says her job with the Georgia Department of Agriculture is the perfect fit.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy dad was a farmer, and my family still owns land in Lowndes and Brooks counties,\u201d says Meeks, who is from a five-generation farming family. \u201cWe grew tobacco and cotton, had hogs, cattle, and timber. It has always been a big part of my life.\u201d<\/p>\n

As the southern marketing coordinator for Georgia Grown, Meeks works to promote the state\u2019s powerful branding program that provides marketing, education, and business connections for Georgia\u2019s agricultural industry.<\/p>\n

According to the Georgia Department of Agriculture, the Georgia Grown program was revitalized in 2012 by Gary W. Black, who is now in his second term as the state\u2019s agriculture commissioner.<\/p>\n

The primary goal of Georgia Grown is to positively impact the state\u2019s agriculture economy by connecting producers, processors, suppliers, distributors, retailers, agritourism venues, and consumers.<\/p>\n

With an expansive South Georgia territory that runs from the coastal region to the Alabama line, Meeks spends her day promoting agriculture, which is Georgia\u2019s No. 1 industry and represents an annual economic impact of $74.9 billion.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo day is ever the same,\u201d says Meeks, who started with the Georgia Department of Agriculture in 2007. \u201cI might be on a shrimp boat over on the coast or watching how turpentine is processed or even walking through a cotton field.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

\u201cGeorgia Grown is not just for farmers. Membership is open to any person or business that produces or promotes locally made products. Georgia Grown is anything manufactured, harvested, or packed in Georgia; this could be lumber, honey, syrup, jams, wine, or even clothing.\u201d<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

Meeks says her responsibilities with Georgia Grown does not include regulatory issues.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy job is to make connections,\u201d she says. \u201cWhen I go out to the farm I am there to listen and pass along information. If they are having any problems, especially with regulatory issues, then I send those concerns to the commissioner and others at the department, so that they are aware.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meeks says one of the highlights of her job is the opportunity to bring together a community of people who want to promote agriculture.<\/p>\n

\u201cGeorgia Grown is not just for farmers,\u201d she says. \u201cMembership is open to any person or business that produces or promotes locally made products. Georgia Grown is anything manufactured, harvested, or packed in Georgia; this could be lumber, honey, syrup, jams, wine, or even clothing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meeks also enjoys helping existing agribusinesses expand or develop new products.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hadn\u2019t been on the job long when Georgia Olive Farms started in Lakeland,\u201d Meeks says. \u201cI remember going out to the farm when they were planting their first olive trees. Now Georgia Olive Farms is known across the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meeks says her job is more than just visiting a farm, it is about educating both the producer and consumer.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith Georgia Grown we are helping to not only promote agriculture as the state\u2019s top industry but also change the perception of agriculture,\u201d she says. \u201cIt is starting to change, more people are visiting local farmers\u2019 markets, and there are more restaurants now that promote farm-to-table meals.\u201d<\/p>\n

Agriculture accounts for more than 410,000 jobs in Georgia, and Meeks says it\u2019s critical that children not only learn where their food comes from but also the availability of careers in agriculture.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are a lot of jobs in agriculture besides being a farmer,\u201d she says. \u201cPart of Georgia Grown is helping develop an appreciation of the entire agricultural industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meeks is also busy promoting the Georgia Department of Agriculture\u2019s 2020 Vision, which aims to have at least 20 percent of school lunch menus featuring Georgia food products every day, at every public school in the state.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a big effort,\u201d she says, \u201cbut we already have several schools in South Georgia using Georgia products as part of the school lunch menus.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meeks serves on the advisory boards for the Georgia Fruit and Vegetable Growers Association and the Georgia Agritourism Association. She also works with the Georgia Blueberries Association and the Georgia Forestry Association and attends meetings focused on tobacco, pecan, and cotton commodities.<\/p>\n
