The boll weevil infestation in the late 1910s devastated Georgia's cotton production, leading to significant economic hardship for farmers reliant on this crop. As cotton yields plummeted, many farmers were forced to diversify their crops and adopt new agricultural practices. This shift not only transformed the agricultural landscape of Georgia but also spurred broader changes in the economy and rural society, as communities sought alternatives to cotton farming. Ultimately, the crisis prompted innovations and adaptations that reshaped the state's agricultural identity.
