The facility was operated by Lockheed with the U.S. Air Force during the late 1950s and 1960s. Scientists used a nuclear reactor to investigate whether aircraft could operate using nuclear power and to study how radiation affected materials and the environment. The facility closed in 1971.

...And apparently there's still some pockets of radiation 👀

Question The farming amendment

36 Upvotes

Looking for info from farmers across all of Georgia! I have seen mixed information about whether or not this amendment will help farmers. I know most farms are smaller than 2k acres already. But I’ve also read that the amendment would only be applicable to non-corporate farms (aka privately owned family farms). Does this help or hurt farming in Georgia, in your opinion? Why? Thank you for feeding us!! Y’all do not get enough support.

I want to go on the scenic railway but the earliest I can get tickets is November 21. Will there still be any leaves left on the trees, and if not, would you say it’s still worth it or should I wait for next year
