We shared about our SMART Irrigation On-Farm Trial and connected with local agricultural experts, USDA, state agriculture partners, and fellow organizations working to support producers.

Thank you to ASAN for bringing the agricultural community together! 💧🌱

We have a new leader, and only one week left to finish strong!

Hale County has moved into first place in the Grow More, Give More 250-Pound Challenge with an impressive 15,191 pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables donated. Butler County follows closely with 14,175 pounds, while Marshall, Coosa and Mobile counties round out the top five.

The competition is close, but the real victory is seeing communities across Alabama come together to help their neighbors. So far, 50 counties have reported donations, and 32 have met or exceeded the 250-pound goal.

The challenge ends next Monday, Labor Day. How many more pounds can we donate before time runs out?

Keep growing. Keep giving. Finish strong! See where your county ranks, learn more and track donations at aces.edu/go/250Challenge.
