MACON, Ga. – Georgia Farm Bureau honored Colquitt County’s Preston and Kendall Jimmerson for their service on the GFB Young Farmers & Ranchers Committee during the organization’s annual convention on Jekyll Island Dec. 8-10.

The Jimmersons operate Moss Family Farm, growing cotton, corn, peanuts and cabbage. They have a daughter, Kate, and a son, Jake.
On the GFB committee, the Jimmersons represented the GFB 9th District, which includes Baker, Brooks, Calhoun, Colquitt, Decatur, Dougherty, Early, Grady, Miller, Mitchell, Seminole, Thomas, Tift and Worth counties.
