Alabama Farm Credit ACA

Our thoughts and prayers are with our members, community, and team as we face today’s predicted severe weather. Please stay safe and keep an eye on our social media for updates following the storm.

Yesterday, we held our Quarter 2 meeting with our Young Farmers Advisory Committee and had the honor of hearing from Dr. David Kohl, world-renowned agriculture economist. He shared valuable insights on the economic pulse of agriculture, and we walked away with a wealth of knowledge to better serve our farmers, tips on managing a farm through difficult times, and the impact of a management mindset when it comes to goal setting. Thank you, Dr. Kohl, for pouring into our group and leaving us encouraged and better equipped to navigate today’s age of agriculture. The rest of the day was spent brainstorming ideas and gaining valuable perspectives from a panel of Alabama Farm Credit lenders. It was a great day of learning, collaboration, and planning for the future!
