Georgia Organics hosted a series of workshops and developed several instructional videos, farm field days, and “how-to” publications to help fill critical knowledge gaps in farm tool use and selection, and farm production equipment maintenance. The resources, completed in 2024, are intended for small direct-to-consumer market farms (two and four cycle engines and hand tools) to larger, more mid-scale operations (ride-on tractors and attachments). 

Additionally, a Farmer Toolkit Video Series was developed covering the following topics: Long-Handled Tool Selection; Building Beds with Small Engine Implements; Favorite Tractor Implements for Transplanting; and But First, Tractor Safety.

Available Educational Publications

• A fact sheet on tractor implements and their functions;
• Tractor implement and soil preparation handout;
• A decision-making tool for choosing the right tools for the farm;
• Small engine troubleshooting guide.
• The educational publications are also available in Spanish.
