Back in 2023, Daniel and Carla Trantham of Calhoun County brought home Alabama’s first victory for the American Farm Bureau Federation’s (AFBF) Achievement Award. Their story first aired in Season 8, but for those who missed it, we hope you enjoy meeting Alabama’s first AFBF Achievement Award winners.
In January, American Farm Bureau Federation held its 107th Annual Convention in Anaheim, California. This is a chance for farming professionals from across the nation to get the pulse on the top issues in agriculture from the nation’s leading farm organization. Promoting young farmers across the country and this year, Alabama’s best took top honors for the second time in four years. Last season, we introduced you to Alabama’s Outstanding Young Farm Family Drew and Lauren Wendland of Autauga County. Now they’ve claimed the title of America’s best young farm family! If you missed their story then, we hope you enjoy it now.
At the beginning of Season 12, Simply Southern announced Alabama Cooperative Extension System has taken on a larger role in the show as Simply Southern’s major sponsor. In this episode, we revisit the segment that tell more about all the work Alabama Extension does in our great state.
