An entertaining morning at the Governor’s Mansion. Clyde & Henrietta were the stars of the show during the 71st annual Turkey Pardoning. Thanksgiving is 17 days away!
Proud to support @jvteachingfarm@randallwoodfin and the @cityofbhamal today. Groundbreaking celebration for the Jones Valley Teaching Farm Center for Food Education. This is a national program model based in Alabama!
Prayers for Huntsville Mayor @TommyBattle and his family. Eula Battle passed away today after an extended battle with Cancer. A firecracker like no other...a light of energy. Eula truly made a difference for so many people while she was here.
In Baldwin County with USDA Secretary, Sonny Perdue, surveying storm damage. Discussion was held with a variety of stakeholders. We appreciate Secretary Perdue and his team for visiting Alabama and their help for people affected by Hurricane Sally.
Irrigation infrastructure creates a positive impact on our agricultural community. In Madison County supporting the Alabama Irrigation Initiative with @RexReynolds01@andy_whitt1@Sam_Givhan and the team from @ALSoilAndWater
A slight sense of “normal” today...Celebrating the Alabama Irrigation Initiative with Congressman @Robert_Aderholt and many friends we haven’t seen for a while. We were socially responsible and wore masks (except for pictures). Thank you @ALSoilAndWater for your dedicated work.

Meet Advisory Committee member @tamiculver, Deputy Commissioner for @AlaAgriculture. Learning about speciality items & meeting Alabama’s finest folks have been a highlight for Tami. But she says nothing beats her Dothan hometown #SweetGrownAlabama speciality... boiled peanuts. 🥜
