Employees at the Cherokee County Probate Office showed their enthusiasm for agriculture and education when they received Ag Tag T-shirts recently. They look forward to wearing them on casual Friday in the office.

Motorists may purchase an Ag Tag at the local probate office for an additional $50 when renewing registration. Recently redesigned, the tag features a patriotic farm scene and displays the drivers’ commitment to supporting Alabama students and farmers.

Cherokee County Probate Judge Kirk Day said “These tags are really nice, agriculture remains the largest industry in Cherokee County and buying these tags will give our citizens the opportunity to show their pride and support for the industry.”

Funds raised through Ag Tag sales support education and promotion efforts including the annual Alabama Ag in the Classroom Summer Institute for teachers, Farm-City Week programs, college scholarships for students studying agriculture-related degrees, prizes for livestock show competitors and other youth agriculture programs.

Cherokee County Farmers Federation President John East said “My family has been farming in Cherokee County for over 100 years, agriculture is our livelihood and buying an Ag tag for your vehicle is a great way to promote agriculture and show support for farmers.”
