Joel Sirmon has found the key to farming in Alabama’s second-fastest-growing county: Flexibility.🍠🥜🌻

“We love this way of life and have tried out a lot of different crops to make sure we can still farm here in Baldwin County,” Joel said. “We’ve never been scared to try new things and have tinkered with crops to see what sticks.”

That eye for innovation earned Sirmon Farms the Alabama Farm of Distinction honor. As the state winner, Joel joins seven Southeastern farmers vying for the title of @sunbeltagexpo Farmer of the Year. The winner will be named next week.👏

Sand dunes, pine trees and a boardwalk filled with landowners set the stage for Alabama Landowners Conference last week in Gulf Shores.🌊

Conference field tours included stops at the @gulfstatepark pier and forest. Attendees received an intro to birds and marine life. They also saw land where @alforestrycomm and Gulf State Park staff utilize prescribed burning.🔥🌳

Educational workshops were a hit, too. Topics ranged from venomous snakes identification and first aid safety to timber market updates and advocacy training.

Thanks to everyone who joined us! See ya next year.💚
