佐治亚州梅肯市的. ——Patsie T. Cannon received the 2019 乔治亚州农场局 (GFB) Commodity Award during the GFB Commodity Conference held 8月. 8 at the University of Georgia Tifton Campus. GFB商品奖, one of the organization’s highest honors, is given to individuals who have supported and promoted Georgia agriculture.

“Patsie has served Georgia’s beef sector for more than 35 years in a variety of roles,GFB主席杰拉尔德·朗说. “Patsie has been a blessing to cattle producers across Georgia through her work with numerous University of Georgia beef production programs, announcing cattle shows at the Georgia National Fairgrounds and Agricenter, and her volunteer work with the Georgia Cattlemen’s & 妇女协会. Her dedication is evident by the long-lasting relationships and the many lives she has touched across the state.” 

Cannon taught business classes at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College for seven years before pursuing fulltime work with Cannon Marketing, the family business dedicated to marketing purebred cattle throughout the Eastern United States and Canada. She later served 16 years at the UGA College of Agricultural & 环境科学蒂夫顿校区. 在她与UGA的时间, Cannon worked with the college’s Georgia Beef Challenge, 公牛评价程序, and the Heifer Evaluation and Reproductive Development (HERD) Program. 

“I am humbled and honored to be recognized by 乔治亚州农场局,” Cannon said. “This organization does a tremendous job working for everyone in Georgia’s ag community. It has been a privilege and a blessing to work for and with so many wonderful producers who have been a part of the Cannon Ag Family for nearly four decades.”

佐治亚牛肉挑战赛, which allows Georgia cattle producers to gain information on the health, weight gain and carcass merit of their cattle as they move through the feedlot,  Cannon coordinated the enrollment and shipping of about 39,000 Georgia calves to the Tri-County Steer Carcass Futurity in Lewis, 爱荷华州. Cannon developed a chuteside data collection process on calves that continued through the feedlot phase and ended with graded carcasses ensuring each consignor received timely updates as data was collected.

While working on the UGA Tifton and Calhoun Bull Evaluation and HERD Programs, Cannon encouraged producers to consign heifers and bulls in the programs. These programs demonstrate the animals’ individual performance differences, provide breeders with a scientific basis for selecting cattle and serve as an educational demonstration of the value of performance records.                              

“Patsie has always been the consummate professional in everything she does. 不管是蒂夫顿公牛测试, the HERD program or the Georgia Beef Challenge, you knew it was going to get done and it was going to be done right,约翰·卡拉威说, 乔治亚州牛肉委员会主席.
