072122 - Agriculture Day with Leadership Huntsville
We had a wonderful Agriculture Reboot Day yesterday! 🚜 🌽 🍑 We began the day at HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology and heard from their team about their Center for Plant Science and Sustainable Agriculture and their new AgTech Accelerator. We also got to tour their brand new, state-of-the-art greenhouse. We then traveled to the Tennessee Valley Research Extension to hear from their team. They are doing some fascinating research!
Up next was a tour of the only cotton gin left in Limestone County, the Associated Growers Co-Op Inc Browns. The impact this gin has on our local area is huge! Our final stop was at Isom's Orchard where we heard from the owner, Wes Isom, about the history of their farmland and some of the challenges local farmers are currently facing. Thank you to Chris Becker at the Limestone County Alabama Extension Office for helping coordinate this day!
