Released: January 7, 2010

TIFTON, Georgia– Armond Morris of Irwin County, Rodney Dawson of Pulaski County and Donald Chase of Macon County, were recently re-nominated without opposition at December nomination meetings held in their respective areas. The Georgia Farm Bureau conducts the meetings to fill terms in the Georgia Peanut Commission’s Districts Two, Four and Five, which expire May 2010.

Morris is the incumbent for District Two, Dawson is the District Four incumbent, and Chase is the District Five incumbent. Since there were no additional nominations at the meeting, Morris, Dawson and Chase automatically continue their service on the Georgia Peanut Commission Board of Directors for another three-year term.

The Georgia peanut production area is divided into five districts based on acreage distribution and geographical location with one board member representing each district. Each nominee must produce peanuts and live within the district for which he is nominated.
