Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College

It became Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College in 1933 when ABAC became a part of the newly formed University System of Georgia.

[3] At that time, ABAC's mission was devoted to associate level studies in agriculture, home economics, and related fields.

A renovation project was recently completed for the original three buildings on campus, Tift, Lewis, and Herring Halls.

[citation needed] The School of Agriculture and Natural Resources is the largest area of study at ABAC.

The Forestry track of the Natural Resources Management program is accredited by the Society of American Foresters.

It wins annual awards for excellence in all categories, such as editorials, feature writing, photography, layout and design, given by the Georgia Press Association.

[citation needed] Staff of the literary magazine, Pegasus, and creative writing faculty sponsor numerous poetry readings each year.

The club maintains the ABAC Crackerjack pulling tractor, an Allis Chalmers 190XT, built in the 1970s by former staff member Jimmy Grubbs.

The AET club has also recently completed work on a new pulling tractor, an AGCO Allis 9650, making the ABAC AET club the only college organization in the U.S. that currently has two running and competitive Super Farm pulling tractors.

The ABAC Lakeside facility offers suite-style living for freshmen on the north shore of Lake Baldwin.
