The Alabama Feed & Grain Association is a non-profit trade association representing every segment of the feed and grain industries in Alabama. AF&GA was organized in 1983 when members of the Alabama Feed Association and Alabama Grain Dealers Association voted unanimously to merge their organizations to form the Alabama Feed and Grain Association. The additional strength gained by this merger enabled this Association to be an effective “spokesperson” for the Alabama feed and grain industry.
