Created by farmers, led by farmers and dedicated to serving farmers, the Alabama Farmers Federation first emerged from the Alabama soil in 1921. It's mission: to promote the economic, social and educational interests of rural Alabamians. By holding fast to the simple idea of strength through unity, the Alabama Farmers Federation has grown from 30,000 members just 50 years ago to become the state's largest, most active and most diversified farm organization. With more than 460,000 members statewide, the Federation's "one voice" delivers a powerful message, whether at the Statehouse in Montgomery or on Capitol Hill in Washington.
