The four “H’s” stand for Head, Heart, Hands, and Health.

Since 1888 the Georgia Experiment Station in Griffin has played an important role in the development of modern agriculture in the South.

Spalding County citizens lobbied for the experiment station to be located in their county on land formerly known as the Bates Farm.
