The bulletin also features a variety of listings, including livestock sales, farm equipment, and available land for rent or sale, catering to the diverse needs of Alabama's farming community. Moreover, it includes sections dedicated to aquaculture, cattle, poultry, and hay sales, ensuring that readers have access to a comprehensive range of agricultural products and services.

The year 2011 will go
down in Alabama history
as a time of great disruption
and uncertainty.
First, we had budget
proration that occurred just
led to laying off nearly one-
fourth of our employees.
Next, the worst natural
disaster ever to hit Alabama
happened on April 27 with
destruction of a large portion
of North Alabama and with
it many family farms and
agribusinesses. Some 238

Later, in June, the
Alabama Legislature
passed the toughest law on
immigration of any in the
United States. Legislators
had heard for years
constituents’ complaints
about the high cost of social
services and the high crime
rate that illegal immigrants
brought to Alabama.
Constituents were correct
in asserting that something
had to be done. No one had
any intention of creating the
problems that resulted from
the new immigration law,
complications that arose
even before September 1,
the date it became effective.
Farmers and agribusiness
owners across Alabama have
contacted this department
to express their dismay
in losing the bulk of their
workers. The immediate
result has been devastating
to many farms, cotton gins,
nurseries, poultry processors
and others in the agriculture
industry.
Many of these businesses
depend on hard-working
laborers, many of whom
have left the state seeking
opportunity elsewhere. As
a result, produce has gone

Garrett Coliseum, for 60 years a venue for major attractions coming to the Montgomery
area, will remain open for business, thanks to an agreement reached in mid-August.
rodeos, concerts and even Elvis Presley, since 1951,” said Alabama Agriculture and
Industries Commissioner John McMillan. “We have taken steps to see that she will
remain in good working order and may even receive a face lift and other help in the near
term.”
While a number of options to revive the coliseum are under discussion, in the interim,
the Alabama National Fair has agreed to operate the coliseum. The coliseum has 31,000
square feet of space, with a seating capacity of 13,500. The property includes a livestock
barn, the W.O. Crawford covered outdoor arena, the Ed Teague outdoor arena, as well as
a swine barn, dairy barn and exhibit building.
McMillan, in his role as state agriculture commissioner, chairs the Agriculture Center
Redevelopment Board, created by legislation earlier this year. The new legislation
commissioner of agriculture, mayor of Montgomery, president of the Montgomery City
Council, Montgomery County Commission chair, plus four others who directly sit on
the board.
“The legislation brought together all stakeholders necessary for Garrett Coliseum to
be successful. All who have a vested interest I the coliseum are involved and committed
to its success,” McMillan said.
At a press conference announcing the board changes, McMillan thanked State Rep.
Joe Hubbard and State Sen. Dick Brewbaker, both of Montgomery, for sponsoring the
legislation to create the redevelopment corporation, which had the authority to move
forward with an action to ensure the viability of Garrett Coliseum.
Every effort is being made to accommodate the schedule of previously scheduled
events, including the fair, which will be held in October.

The Alabama Grocers Association presented Alabama
Agriculture and Industries Commissioner John McMillan
with its Spirit of Alabama award at its annual convention in
late July.
The award, which was presented by Alabama Grocers
Association President Ellie Smotherman Taylor, is given in
honor of McMillan’s support of food safety, the food industry
and for his support of products grown, manufactured and
processed in Alabama.
McMillan is a six-generation Alabama native with
roots in Baldwin County. His life’s work has centered on
agri-business, forest products, wildlife protection, natural
resource management and the protection of personal property
rights. From 1974-1982, he served in the Alabama House of
Representatives and chaired the Agriculture, Forestry and
Natural Resource Committee before serving as executive
vice president of the Alabama Forestry Association for over
20 years. In November, he was elected to the post he now
holds.
The Spirit of Alabama award was established in 2006 to
honor those who support the Alabama Grocers Association
and have commitment to the State of Alabama food industry.
The association is a state trade group representing the
grocery retail industry.

Feral/wild swine population is growing at an alarming rate in Alabama. They
destroy native plants and habitats, create erosion problems, degrade water quality
and compete with native wildlife for food. In addition, they can cause massive
crop damage, transmit diseases to domestic livestock, and adversely affect timber
production through destruction of seedlings and young trees. Feral swine have been
sighted in most of the 67 counties in Alabama and can reproduce at an alarming
rate. Sows can begin breeding at 6 months of age, and produce up to four litters per
year with each litter consisting of four to twelve piglets.
assistance through the USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service’s (NRCS)
Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program (WHIP) and the Environmental Quality
Incentives Program (EQIP) to trap and properly dispose of feral/wild swine. For

Common mistakes
Filling out the Alabama Farmers Bulletin form can be a straightforward process, but many people make common mistakes that can lead to delays or issues with their submissions. Here are eight mistakes to avoid when completing the form.
One frequent error is not providing complete contact information. Ensure that your name, address, city, state, zip code, and email address are all filled out correctly. Missing or incorrect details can prevent the bulletin from reaching you or cause confusion about your submission.
Another common mistake is not selecting the appropriate subscription option. Be sure to check whether you are an in-state or out-of-state resident and choose the correct subscription plan. This small oversight can lead to additional charges or delays in processing your subscription.
People often forget to include a payment method. It's essential to include your check along with the form. If the payment is missing, your application may not be processed. Additionally, be sure that the check is made payable to the correct entity, as errors in this area can also cause delays.
Many individuals also overlook the importance of double-checking for errors. Simple typos or mistakes in your form can lead to miscommunication or issues with your subscription. Take a moment to review your entries before mailing the form to ensure accuracy.
Another mistake is failing to sign the form. A signature is often required to validate your submission. Without it, your application may be deemed incomplete, resulting in a longer wait time for processing.
Some people neglect to read the submission guidelines provided on the website. These guidelines contain crucial information that can help ensure your form is filled out correctly. Ignoring them can lead to unnecessary complications.
Lastly, be mindful of the deadline for submissions. Many individuals miss the cutoff date, which can lead to delays in receiving the bulletin. Mark your calendar and send your form well in advance to avoid any last-minute issues.
By being aware of these common mistakes and taking the time to fill out the Alabama Farmers Bulletin form carefully, you can ensure a smooth and successful subscription process.
Documents used along the form
When working with the Alabama Farmers Bulletin form, several other documents and forms may be necessary to ensure compliance and streamline processes related to agricultural practices. Below is a list of commonly used forms that complement the Alabama Farmers Bulletin form:
- Farm Lease Agreement: This document outlines the terms and conditions under which a property owner leases land to a farmer. It details rental rates, duration, and responsibilities of both parties.
- Sales Tax Exemption Certificate: Farmers may need this certificate to purchase agricultural supplies without paying sales tax. It verifies that the buyer is exempt due to their agricultural activities.
- Livestock Bill of Sale: This form serves as proof of the transfer of ownership of livestock. It includes details about the animals, the seller, and the buyer.
- Crop Insurance Application: Farmers use this form to apply for crop insurance, which protects against crop loss due to natural disasters or unforeseen events.
