Georgia Farmer Begins Olive Production

Georgia farmers are accustomed to taking risks. From the weather, to prices, to consumer demand, farming is a risky business. But trying to grow a crop in Georgia that has never been grown on a large scale before may be the riskiest venture a farmer can make. The Monitor's Mark Wildman recently visited one farmer who is doing just that with a new crop - olives.

Daniel Rosales Yh they really hardy trees grow anywhere

[@hamidahlouch7727]

@@danielrosales39 olive trees need the heat they do not grow in high altitudes where it gets too cold and snows the leaves die because of snow .and the olive tree in land near the sea it grows but the yield is always poor because the morning sea fog kills the blosome . So you can grow some olive trees inside the house . I hope information will be useful I hope
