Alabama farmers and food processors want priority when state agencies purchase food and negotiate with suppliers and Agriculture Commissioner Ron Sparks has promised to help.
Today’s Montgomery Advertiser highlights “Alabama Food Products Day” in Montgomery yesterday. The event highlighted the enormous diversity and high quality of Alabama food products and introduced members of the Legislature to such delicacies as “Micro Rinds” pork rinds.
Sparks is supporting legislation that would favor Alabama producers when state contracts are awarded.
Go Sparks! With all the concerns about urban sprawl, loss of farm land, and the safety of imported foods, it’s imperative that we support our local farmers and producers every way we can.
