A late Newton County farmer, educator and founder of 4-H in Georgia will be inducted into the Georgia Agricultural Hall of Fame, and his descendants are elated that their family member will be remembered as part of agricultural history. The University of Georgia announced Tuesday that George Claud Adams, known as Georgia’s father of 4-H, and Louis Boyd, a leading animal scientist, would be inducted Sept. 20. The hall of fame was established in 1972 to recognize people who made extraordinary contributions to agriculture and agribusiness in the state, according to information from the school.
