Areas across the Southeast suffered from severe storms this week, including parts of Alabama. Several confirmed tornadoes caused damage to homes, power lines, and trees. But Alabama Commissioner of Agriculture Rick Pate told Southeast AgNet the Alabama Department of Agriculture & Industries (ADAI) had not received any reports of major damage to farms in the state.
Pate noted major crops in the state have not been planted yet, so while much of Alabama was under tornado watches Wednesday, this was one aspect that was not an issue from the storm system.
