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.
