CONGRATULATIONS !!!!!!
2022 GINNER OF THE YEAR: STEVE BULLARD

Steve Bullard has been in the cotton industry for well over 30 years. Service is one of the criteria for selection and the letters of support go on and on about his service to his farmers, his board and to the youth in the community.

Our nominee is not only a ginner but a certified crop advisor and he takes that roll on just as seriously as the gin. Known as ginner first, its obvious he sees the crop advisor as beneficial to the gin.

He has been described as a "working manager" and anyone who tries to keep up with him during cotton and peanut season will tell you it's not an easy job. Congratulations to Steve Bullard.

2022 Georgia Quality Cotton Award Winners Announced
The 2022 Georgia Quality Cotton Awards were presented at the 2023 Georgia Cotton Commission Mid-Year Meeting on July 26, 2023. The awards are co-sponsored by the Georgia Cotton Commission and Bayer Crop Science/Deltapine and administered by the University of Georgia (UGA) Cotton Team. Yangxuan Liu from the UGA Cotton Team conducted the analysis and presented the awards at the event in Statesboro.
The purpose of the awards is to recognize producers and ginners of high-quality cotton fiber and to identify their general management practices for the benefit of other growers. The producers and their gins received a plaque, and the winning producers received a $500 cash award. The UGA County Extension Agent for each winner was also recognized as they work closely with the farmers during the growing season.
The awards are given in each of these three cotton acreage categories: 1) less than 500 acres, 2) 500 to 1,000 acres, and 3) greater than 1,000 acres within the four regions of the state.
