ASSOCIATION NEWS
 Lots of things go good with chicken — mac and cheese, french fries, mashed potatoes, green beans — the usual southern sides. For poultry farmers, though, sides may look a little different. Ask Covington County farmer Tommy Thompson why he raises cattle and row crops along with his breeder hens, and he’ll say, “Because it all works together.”  A trip to one Cullman County farm is literally a life-changing experience for men who choose to live there while overcoming drug and alcohol addictions. The Foundry Ministries, based in Bessemer, has owned the 60-acre farm near Holly Pond since 1980. In 2019, a 1,000-square-foot hen house was added to the farming operation. Three of the farm’s residents are assigned to caring for the 550 laying hens, gathering the eggs and preparing them for distribution.

Imagine you’re spending an evening out with your family when you receive the tragic news your home is on fire. You rush to the scene, only to find there is nothing that can be done to salvage your home. It is too far gone. One of the first calls you make will be to your insurance agent. In the days to come, you find out the coverage you had on your dwelling will not be sufficient to rebuild your home at the current cost of construction. MEMBERSHIP
