Alabama

Alabama has around 38,500 active farms operating on 8.2 million acres, however the number of farms has been steadily declining and there has been a loss of around 10,000 farms since 2007. Luckily, even with the decline of farms, permanent pasture and rangeland has held steady at just over 2,000,000 acres and accommodates around 1.26 million cattle annually, with over 677,000 being free range beef cattle. Help support the local economy and keep the locally owned farms in business by sourcing from reputable, responsible farms. Do this and you'll understand why they call this place "Sweet Home Alabama".
