Tommy Blackstock checks feed levels at his Fuller Road chicken houses Tuesday morning. During the Hall County Agribusiness Awards Breakfast on Tuesday morning, Blackstock was named the farmer of the year.
When Tommy Blackstock’s great-great grandfather came home from fighting in the Civil War, he bought the land the family is still farming. Blackstock said farming is just in his blood. “I grew up with my papa and daddy and it’s just what I knew I needed to do,” Blackstock said.
