About AG
Farm reports and college programs use ag the same way, as in ag science. It is a handy word for the G, a tile with only a few two-letter homes: AG, GI and GO.

AG scores 3 points
Before any bonus squares: A 1 + G 2 = 3. On a double-word square that's 6, on a triple-word 9, and every letter bonus under one of these tiles is applied first.
Example: AG as the first play
Later in the game, put the G on a 3L square and AG is worth 7 before any word bonus.
