Scott Saucer • Monroe County “I encourage farmers to vote yes on the upcoming referendum. The checkoff offers more than research. It also provides promotion and education to the public, as well as the next generation of farmers, through events such as the Alabama Ag Expedition for agriculture students. We must provide a sustainable future for the next generation.”

Shep Morris • Macon County “Farmers should vote yes for the Wheat and Feed Grain Checkoff Aug. 10. The dollars generated from the checkoff are leveraged for promotion, education and research. Research on topics such as fertility and promoting Alabama-grown corn to livestock producers will greatly help farmers be more profitable.”

Richard Parrish • Randolph County “To provide further education, research and promotion for our feed grain crops, farmers should mark yes on their referendum ballot. Checkoff dollars have helped my crops generate higher yields through extensive research. Without these funds, we would have limited research about and promotion of our crops.”

Stanley Walters • Perry County “The checkoff is a great investment for wheat and feed grain farmers. There are countless innovations that have been discovered through research funded by the checkoff. This referendum is truly what is best for farmers.”
