The Georgia Department of Agriculture and the Vidalia Onion Committee announced that the official start of the Vidalia onion season this year will be on April 20 at 8 am. This compares to last year’s start on April 12 and 2016’s start on April 25. This year’s winter has been somewhat warmer than 2016 but cold outbreaks this winter have slowed the progress of the onions compared to last year, leading to a slightly later start date.
