The Alabama Farmers Federation held leadership elections during its annual meeting Dec. 6 in Montgomery. The gathering was highlighted by the state’s largest farm organization celebrating its centennial year.
The Alabama Farmers Federation kicked off its 100th annual meeting Dec. 5 in Montgomery with awards presentations and a salute to a century of serving farmers.
Nearly 1,200 farmers from every county in the state will be in Montgomery this weekend to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Alabama Farmers Federation.
In its first century, the Alabama Farmers Federation was guided by 10 farmer-presidents — elected by their fellow farmers to serve rural Alabama.
Leaders of the group (originally named Alabama Farm Bureau) have diverse backgrounds, educational experiences and management styles.
Despite their differences, their missions were unified — improve, organize and advance life for Alabamians.
