Gov. Kay Ivey declared Oct. 12 to be Farmer's Day at Sweet Creek Farm Market in Pike Road.
According to an announcement the proclamation honors farmers and notes that they contribute $77.3 billion annually to the state economy.
Sweet Creek owner and Alabama Representative Reed Ingram and Blue Ribbon Dairy Owner Michaela Sanders-Wilson were present for the ceremony.
“Alabama farmers are the backbone of our communities. They work tirelessly to put food on our tables, clothes on our backs and keep our rural economies strong,” said Commissioner Rick Pate.
“Farmers’ Day and our Thank A Farmer initiative are about more than just recognition; they are about instilling a deeper appreciation for the farmers and ranchers whose hard work sustains us all.”
