VIP Dothan at Houston County Farm Center

Lydia & Jansen Kirkland

T

he theme for this year’s Farm City Week Banquet hosted 
by Houston County on November 16 was “Agriculture: 
Food For Life.” Hundreds of area farmers, sponsors, 

elected officials and contest/award winners came out to the 
Houston County Farm Center to be a part of this annual event. 
It was the kick off for Alabama Farm Week which the Houston 
County Commission Proclaimed as November 17-23. 

The goal of Farm City is to strengthen and celebrate 

the relationship between the agricultural community and 

government. The evening started with a welcome from Houston 
County Commission Chairman Mark Culver and a Flag Folding 
Ceremony and Presentation to Chief Deputy Jeff Carlisle with 
the Houston County Sheriff’s Department. A buffet dinner 
was served, after which contest winners from area schools were 
recognized and awards were given out. The evening ended with 
the announcement of the Farm Family of the Year which went to 
the David Bell Family.
