Local seed company marks major milestone this month

Local agricultural supply business, Adams-Briscoe Seed Company, celebrated its 80th anniversary and three generations of Adams family ownership on Nov. 6. The company’s story began in 1946, when Rufus Adams and Everett Briscoe bought a seed business in Jackson from the Carmichael brothers. With backgrounds in agriculture and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, they built a business grounded in knowledge, experience and a commitment to helping customers find the right products for their farms, homes and land. The family business expanded in 1953 when Rufus Adams encouraged his brother, J.B. Adams, to open a second location in Forsyth. J.B. and his wife, Emmie, operated the store together until his death in 1967. Emmie continued running the store until 2003. That same year, ownership of the Jackson business passed to Rufus’ nephew, Jimmy Adams. He and his son Greg Adams continue to lead the company today. The business thanks everyone who has been a part of their journey. “We’re proud of our roots, grateful for the generations of customers who have trusted us and ready for whatever grows next,” said Jimmy Adams.

RCPS proposes school consolidation and rezoning plan

CONYERS — Rockdale County Public Schools has announced a proposal to consolidate and rezone select elementary and middle schools beginning with the 2027-28 school year. The proposal is the first phase of Future Ready RCPS, a three-part plan to create capacity, define opportunity, and build the future for students. According to the school system, the proposal responds to a sharp and persistent decline in school-aged children in the district, driven largely by decreasing birth rates and an aging population in the county. Across the district, RCPS has more than 5,000 open seats with elementary schools using about 62% of their seats and middle schools using about 71 percent of their seats. Enrollment fell from 16,718 students at the 2017-18 midpoint to 14,693 at the 2025-26 midpoint, a decrease of 2,025 students. Because about half of the RCPS budget comes from state funding tied to enrollment, declining enrollment means declining funding. Instead of stretching resources thin across current schools, by combining some schools, RCPS will be able to offer more to students, according to the school system. The school system also stated in a press release that consolidating buildings would allow schools to earn maximum state funding, strengthen programs, and potentially
