That land is still where the Brady family farms, but it’s evolved through the years — from a state-of-the-art dairy operation to a sprawling catfish and beef cattle farm. For the Alabama Farmers Federation‘s centennial year, we visited with the Bradys to discuss the changes they’ve witnessed in agriculture and discussed their contributions to and recognitions received from the Federation.
