Based in Carpin- teria, Calif., Pete’s grows lettuce and greens in hydroponic greenhouses. The company’s initial $20 million invest- ment will develop three acres of a 24-acre site. At build-out, the company will have 24 greenhouses in operation at the site, which is adjacent to a 60,000-square-foot distribu- tion center built by Pure Flavor in 2019. Pure Flavor was the first greenhouse operation to locate in the area. Georgia is the first stop of a nationwide expansion for Pete’s, said CEO Brian Cook. “We’re planting flags across the United States, and this is flag two,” he said. Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Gary W. Black and State Rep. Robert Dickey, chair of the House Agriculture and Consumer Affairs Committee, helped Pete’s break ground on a new greenhouse site in Peach County July 7.

Really though, it’s a tough thing to predict, so the University of Georgia started the Georgia Automated Environmental Mon- itoring Network back in 1991. Many of the stations were donated to UGA after they were used to check the weather for the Atlanta Olympics in 1996. In order to collect the best information possible, there are nearly 100 weather stations scattered around the state and connected by a cellular network. There is a station in every corner of the state: Attapulgus, Tiger, LaFayette, Woodbine and, of course, Dublin.
