Leadership in Action 👏❤️
The A.L.F.A. Leaders Class VI Institute 1 was Sept. 25-28 in Montgomery!
The first training covered leadership, personal development, an overview of the Alabama Farmers Federation and Alfa Insurance and more. The group also observed the Federation`s policy development process and heard from Federation staff.
We honored 80 @auburnu students last night during the Alabama Farmers Federation annual scholarship reception Sept. 25 at Lazenby Farms in Auburn. 👏💙
During the program, over $150,000 was awarded through a special partnership between Alabama Farmers Agriculture Foundation and county Farmers Federations.
Congratulations to these outstanding students.

@auburnag and Auburn Agricultural Alumni Club hosted its 44th annual Ag Roundup Sep. 16.
Farm-fresh fried sweet potato chips, pork pepperoni, ice cream, Priester`s Pecans, U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish and more were on the menu to celebrate Auburn ag and the agricultural industry. 🍦🍠🐓🧀
See y`all next year!
It`s Farm Safety Week, y`all!❤️🚜⚠️
As fall harvest ramps up, drivers may notice a seasonal companion on the roadways — farmers moving massive machinery between fields.
To stay safe on the roads, drivers should:
🟡Slow down when they see a piece of agricultural equipment. Most farm equipment is designed to travel at speeds of only 15 to 25 mph.
⚠️Watch for slow-moving vehicle (SMV) signs. These signs are orange triangles and arerequired for vehicles traveling less than 25 mph.
🫱Look for electronic or hand turn signals. Just because a tractor veers right does not mean the operator is pulling over to allow someone to pass. The size of farm equipment often dictates the necessity of wide turns.
🚜Pass farm equipment cautiously. Even when passing safely and legally, machinery may sway.
🛞Keep all tires on the road. Expect equipment operators to do the same. Driving with one set of tires on loose-surface shoulders increases risk of rolling over.
💡Watch for flashing amber lights. This often marks the far right and left of farm equipment. Also watch for reflective tape marking extremities and sides of equipment.
❤️Remember agricultural vehicle operators have a right to drive equipment on the road.
