Agriculture brings a documented project pipeline and producer needs; the Senate office carries those priorities into federal policy, agency oversight and funding conversations.

Put agriculture into utility planning

The five-member commission regulates investor-owned electric and natural-gas utilities and influences rates, planning, reliability and large-load cost allocation.

Statewide ballot questions

How the statewide ballot measures touch agriculture

These summaries explain the agricultural connection. They do not compare or rank the measures.

Amendment 1

Next Generation 9-1-1 Fund

Operational connection

What would change

Would allow the General Assembly to create a dedicated fund for modernizing Georgia's 9-1-1 system. It does not itself set the future revenue source or fee structure.

Agriculture connection

Farms, forests and processing sites are often remote. Better location data and the ability to transmit text, photos or video can matter during equipment injuries, wildfires, chemical incidents and severe weather.

Amendment 2

Agriculture & Timber Conservation Use Acreage

Direct connection

What would change

Would raise the maximum acreage one owner may enroll in the conservation-use property-tax classification from 2,000 to 4,000 acres.

Agriculture connection

The change could lower qualifying land-tax pressure for larger farm and timber operations. The fiscal effect on county and school tax bases, and exactly who qualifies, also matters.

Amendment 3

Nonpartisan Probate Judge Elections

Land & succession connection

What would change

Would require probate judges to be elected without party labels. It changes the election format, not the court's jurisdiction.

Agriculture connection

Probate courts handle estates, wills, guardianships and conservatorships. Those proceedings can determine whether a family farm, timber tract or heirs' property transfers cleanly to the next generation.

One final check

Your address, not your county alone, sets the final ballot.
