Why are so many tractors made/assembled in Georgia?
It seems that any tractor manufacturer I read about is there!

...The only thing it lacks might be the foundry to actually make parts.

That is also one of the main reasons we lost the War Between the States.
That is also one of the main reasons we lost the War Between the States. The north had all the foundries. Georgia competes hard with tax incentives for new industry. Alabama and South Carolina do as well. LS got incentives from North Carolina (but lost some of it when the predicted number of jobs did not appear). It just depends on how the bidding turns out (plus how the new company factors in the criteria that paulharvey mentions). It is not just tractors, but everything from Glock pistols to automobiles.
For some reason Jacksonville, FL actually dropped out of the running for the BMW plant that ended up in Savanna. ?
