Sweet Grown Alabama is proud to announce an exciting partnership with Alabama Ag Credit that will make it easier than ever for Alabama farmers to join the state’s agricultural branding program. Through an expansion of Alabama Ag Credit’s Vendor Voucher Program, new members can now receive financial assistance to cover Sweet Grown Alabama membership fees.

Our scholarship program is a valuable benefit available to members, designed to support their families as they pursue higher education. Children or grandchildren of member-borrowers can apply if they are attending an accredited college, university, or technical/vocational institution in the United States, working toward a certificate, associate’s degree, or bachelor’s degree.

The suicide rate of farmers is three and a half times that of the general population. Recognizing the impact mental health challenges can have on rural communities, Alabama Ag Credit, as part of the Farm Credit system, prioritizes supporting organizations focused on providing resources on managing farm stress.
