- Description:
- Encyclopedia article about hogs in Georgia. Raised in Georgia for food and profit since colonial times, hogs remain a fixture of the state's economy and culture. Even though pork production may not contribute a large percentage to the state's agricultural revenues, it accounted for $104 million of farm gate value (the value of a product when it leaves the farm) in Georgia in 2004.
