📰 News we're reading

• Harnessing data and artificial intelligence for a resilient poultry industry (poultrytimes.com) — Tucker-based U.S. Poultry & Egg Association is backing University of Georgia research to build an AI-powered platform that forecasts avian influenza risk nationwide, potentially protecting Georgia farms and local jobs. The tool will combine bird migration, weather, and outbreak data to give producers early warnings and guide biosecurity steps. Tucker's role as the association's home base puts the city at the center of this industry-wide effort.
