GFB Day at the Braves a Hit!

April 23 was a beautiful day at Truist Park for Georgia Farm Bureau Day at the Braves. Although the Atlanta Braves fell to the Houston Astros, 5-2, GFB guests had fun! GFB fans turned out in record numbers buying 1,006 tickets to raise $10,060 for the Georgia Foundation for Agriculture (GFA). GFA ticket sales accounted for 2.422% of the 41,530 people attending the game.

Some GFB members attending the game made signs to highlight the contributions farmers make to our lives. USDA statistics show only 1.05% of America’s population are farmers, so this event was a great venue to educate consumers about agriculture.
