Georgia has a big vegetable portfolio including everything from broccoli to zucchini and cabbage.
Producers are hard at work right now harvesting this year’s cabbage crop. The Farm Monitor’s John Holcomb takes us to Demott Produce in the Peach State.
Lettuce growers: there could be changes coming to the makeup of the leafy greens or how it can be processed.

This could eventually lead to changes in production.
