On a Zoom call a committee member asked how the agriculture community was being consulted on HB 44. Representative Cantrell said former Ag Committee chair McCall, now head of the Georgia Farm Bureau, was a primary sponsor and that the organization was "completely on board" with the bill.
Cantrell said farmers told him that livestock and poultry schedules follow sunrise and sunset and that the artificial clock change imposes short-term disruption but not permanent operational shifts. "The cows need to be milked. The chickens need to be fed," he said, saying farmers dislike the time change because animals do not adjust to clock shifts.
