01The market
What Southwest Georgia generates
Southwest Georgia is agricultural and food-processing country: peanuts, cotton, produce, and the plants that clean, pack and refrigerate them, alongside the textile legacy in Columbus and the automotive supplier belt around West Point. Irrigation adds a distribution network of its own — service drops, pump panels and underground cable running to fields.
That means the cable here is often smaller and more distributed than a transmission lot: URD and USE-2 from service work, submersible pump cable, control and instrumentation cable from food plants, and welding lead from maintenance shops. It also means quantities are usually modest and the value sits in sorting.

04Questions
Southwest Georgia questions
Do you buy URD and service cable from cooperatives?
Yes, with the cooperative’s release. URD and USE-2 are reviewed on conductor size, insulation condition and documented footage, and reels stored outdoors are read for moisture first.
Is food plant cable worth selling after a washdown environment?
Sometimes. Cable that has been hosed for years can still be sound if the jacket is intact, but water ingress at unsealed ends is common and moves a lot toward recovery.
Can a lot on a farm be collected?
Usually. Say what the access is — gravel drive, field track, weight-limited bridge — and whether a forklift is on site or the reels have to be winched.
