News

The CAES editorial team shares news about CAES and UGA Extension with press and internal and external audiences. If you have a story idea or would like to write a news release, email CAESnews@uga.edu.

Our writers relay scientific and technical information from CAES scientists and Extension specialists to farmers, agricultural businesses and consumers through newspapers, television shows, radio spots, websites and magazines. They also highlight the college's outreach and community-building efforts across the state.  

News stories about the college and UGA Extension are shared on a daily and weekly basis with an audience of more than 1,000 consumers and members of the media through the CAES Media Newswire. The stories also appear on UGA Today, in news outlets across Georgia and beyond, and as university and college website features.  

Publications and Editing 

The editor for UGA Extension publications reviews all faculty-submitted research that is written to be used and understood by the public before they are designed and then published on the web. In addition to more than 900 publications that can be viewed and downloaded for free, UGA Extension offers several high-quality publications for purchase at UGAextensionstore.com. Faculty should review the publishing guidelines and process on the CAES Intranet. 

Our editors also review all news, marketing materials and other information disseminated through official college channels. OMC uses the Associated Press (AP) style for all news and marketing communications. Extension publications follow APA style.

Public art helping to revive rural communities 07/26/24 Margaret Blanchard
In Buena Vista, a vibrant mural at the corner of North Broad Street and Fifth Avenue catches the eyes of passers-by with its bright blue border. Funded by Flint Energies, the mural tells the story of the longleaf pine forests that once dominated Marion County and the turpentine industry, flora and fauna that the trees supported — from gopher tortoises to bobwhite quail.

UGA Extension program helps farmers adopt sustainable irrigation methods 07/25/24 Emily Cabrera
Georgia's leading industry is agriculture, which relies significantly on irrigation — approximately half of the state's cropland is irrigated. For most farmers operating on razor-thin profit margins, irrigation is essential as insurance against drought and extended dry periods. In a concerted effort to address water conservation in agriculture, the University of Georgia Cooperative Extension Ag Water Team helps farmers adopt water-saving practices that boost yields, lower production costs and conserve water for future generations.
