Alabama farm and forestry organizations debuted a new, yearlong campaign that focuses on sharing stories about farmers and forest landowners.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. - Alabama farm and forestry organizations debuted a new, yearlong campaign Thursday that focuses on sharing stories about farmers and forest landowners.
It’s called Down to Earth: Agriculture Sustains Alabama, and it’s designed to give the public a chance to learn about ways farmers, ranchers and forest landowners use sustainable and conservation-minded practices. Organizers want people to get a better understanding of what a modern farm looks like. At a press conference Thursday, Autauga County farmer Drew Wendland spoke about the impact the industry has on those who farm and all of us who benefit.“Every day I try to make decisions that steward our natural resources that that make sure that I leave it better than I found it. Just like my dad did for me, and his dad did for him, and his dad did for him. And to me, that’s what sustainability’s all about.
