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.

Rockdale County 2027 budget cuts $18 million in spending

CONYERS — Rockdale County officials have proposed a $134.97 million budget for 2027 after cutting about $18 million in departmental spending requests to balance the budget without raising taxes. The proposed spending plan, presented during the Nov. 10 Board of Commissioners meeting, represents an $8.2 million, or 6.5%, increase over the county's 2026 budget. Public safety remains the county's largest spending priority, with additional funding directed toward the Sheriff's Office, security at the new judicial and administrative complex and employee compensation. Chief Financial Officer Javaid Majid told commissioners the budget process began with approximately $153 million in requests from county departments and elected officials, compared with projected revenues of approximately $135 million. That left officials to choose between increasing revenue and reducing expenditures. "The options were either we're going to raise taxes or reduce spending," Majid said. "We have no desire to place any additional tax burden on our citizens." Instead, county officials worked with department heads and elected officials to reduce proposed expenditures while attempting to maintain existing services. Majid said the resulting $134,970,617 spending plan is structurally balanced and reflects the county's priorities: public safety, workforce retention, operational efficiency and financial responsibility. The commissioners unanimously approved the first
