About Nochaway Ag Update

The Nochaway Ag Update is a blog designed to provide timely information to the agricultural producers of Terrell, Calhoun, and Randolph Counties. The Ichawaynochaway Creek flows through all three of these Southwest Georgia counties and was chosen to represent our area of responsibility. 'Nochaway,' was selected because that is what many of us call the Ichawaynochaway Creek.
