📰 News we're reading

• Moultrie seeks public input on proposed street closure for church expansion (walb.com) — Moultrie officials want your feedback on possibly closing part of 5th Avenue Southwest so First Baptist Church can expand parking and facilities near Stringfellow Elementary. Cones are blocking that stretch for a week or two to show how a permanent closure would work. Residents can use this trial period to consider traffic, school access, and neighborhood impacts before weighing in.
   

• Seed Depth Key as Cotton Plantings Continue Across Georgia (southeastagnet.com) — Recent rains dropped just over three inches in Moultrie, giving local cotton growers better soil moisture but also making seed depth decisions more critical. A University of Georgia cotton agronomist advises planting about a knuckle deep, no more than three-quarters of an inch, especially with more rain in the forecast. His guidance aims to help South Georgia farmers avoid costly replanting.
