Georgia & How It May Reap Olive Oil Benefits

By Rob Sutter


It's apparent that across all fifty states, almost all of them can be paired off with a certain food. One of the biggest ones, in my eyes, has to be Idaho and its connection to the potato. What about looking more south in Florida and its prevalence of oranges more than any other product? Georgia seems to follow a similar pattern well but for how much longer? The reason that I say this is because of how olive oil benefits may just be taking the top spot before long.

This may seem like a wild idea to some but consider just how erratic nature can be at times. According to an article posted on 41NBC, a farmer by the name of Bob Krueger took it upon himself to plant trees within the area of Hawkinsville. These trees have a specific purpose: to utilize the olive oil benefits which can come about. To say that this story has the chance of catching the attention of companies such as Bellucci Premium would be an understatement.

Just like with any example of vegetation, though, the growth of these trees will take some time. The article stated that these trees were planted back in June of 2012, meaning that there will have to be two more years of growth, at least, before usable fruit sprouts. To say the least, this will take some work but various elements make the task a bit less daunting. One of said elements is weather, since the right type will change how growth comes about with these plants.

As far as places to effectively grow crops are concerned, southern areas of the United States seem to be the most ideal. They are the ones with which typically possess hot and dry climates, which are suitable for olive trees. How else do you think Florida earned its reputation as the greatest source of orange growth in the country? Hawkinsville fits this particular bill quite nicely, as I am sure you could very well imagine, which means that olive growth can come about rather easily.

With Georgia being a state people most commonly associate with peaches, olive oil benefits may just be the next big thing for the state. Demand has grown exponentially for these olives with the oil production being the primary reason for it. As a result, more trees are going to be planted, specifically in southern states. It's apparent that the oil production seen in other areas of the world is great but the idea that more can be done in the United States is a great idea.
