As most of you know the Ancestor Swap Meet is over and was a great success, our speaker, Linda Woodward-Geiger, did such a great job on the work shop and also for the swap meet. RoseMary Hyatt and her committee did a great job this year. We want to thank all of you that worked. We are already looking forward the Ancestor Swap Meet in 2008. Our building is taking on a new look, the back of the building had never been bricked but was covered with some type of shingles. With the help of a grant from Community Development, our whole building is bricked. We want to take this opportunity to say "HATS OFF" to our grant chairperson Julia Young for all the hard work she has done to make this possible. There are several more grants in the works so just keep an eye on the building to see the nice changes that are taking place. SUMMER HOURS The library will have extended hours on the first and third Thursdays for the months of June, July, and August. We will remain open on these days until 8 p.m. We will be putting names of new members as we receive, along with the names they are researching., also remember if you join the society you can have a pedigree chart and queries run in the quarterly free to members.

More in the next quarterly Volume 46 Northeast Alabama Settlers Number 2 MEMBER SPOTLIGHT Sybil Talley McCluskey Atkins is a founding member of N.E. Alabama Genealogical Society. Her love of history and genealogy is apparent in the articles we find in our quarterlies. If someone needs to know the history of Nichols Library we refer him or her to several of Sybil's articles. Those articles are in a file readily accessible when needed. Sybil has transcribed and preserved numerous records over the years. She has made sure that records were preserved for any researcher who happens to need them. If not for her diligence many records would have been lost years ago. You will find Sybil's articles in numerous historical publications. She served as an officer of N.E. Alabama Genealogical Society for many years. Most notable Sybil was the editor of this publication before computers, printers and copy machines. Sybil had to print everything using a mimeograph machine. Sybil and her husband Lee Atkins live in Chattanooga, where she is a member of several organizations. Sybil comes to Gadsden as often as weather and health allow attending the meetings of The James Gadsden Chapter of DAR, UDC Etowah Chapter 1620 and N.E. Alabama Genealogical meetings. I can personally say that I've had no greater sense of accomplishment than when Sybil tells me, that we are doing a good job. She always tells us how proud she is that we (the society) are doing well. We must do our best to keep the traditions and follow the example of Sybil and others who worked so hard to make our society the success it is today. Sybil, we love you and hope that good health and beautiful weather allow you to come back to see us soon.

After approval of a reservoir land management plan (LMP) by the TVA Board of Directors (TVA Board), all future uses of TVA lands on that reservoir must then be consistent with the allocations within that LMP. TVA’s Land Policy (TVA 2006) states that TVA may consider changing a land use designation outside of the normal planning process only for the purposes of providing water access for industrial or commercial recreation operations on privately owned back-lying land or to implement TVA’s Shoreline Management Policy (SMP). A change in allocation of any parcel is subject to approval by the TVA Board or its designee.

  • Crop Profile for Hay & Pasture in Alabama
    Crop Profile for Hay and Pasture in Alabama Prepared August 2001 General Production Information In 1998, Alabama ranked 31st in the United States in the production of hay, producing 1,575,000 tons. Alabama produced 1,575,000 tons or 1% of the United States’ production total of 151,338,000 tons of hay. In 1998, 750,000 acres of hay were planted in Alabama. The average yield in 1998 was estimated at 2.1 tons per acre, including fields that were both grazed and cut for hay. The average price per ton was $53 for a production value of approximately $83,475,000. Cost of hay production is estimated at $100 per acre. Cost of pasture production is estimated at $225 per acre. Production Regions Hay and pasture are grown throughout Alabama. More than 60 forage species are routinely planted, often in mixtures, throughout the state. Many other plants volunteer within pasture and hayfields providing nutrition for forage-consuming animals. However, a few perennial grasses, which tend to dominate forage stands in various parts of the state, form the basis for almost all forage programs. Alabama has three major hay and pasture regions, which will be defined in this publication both by the types of dominating perennial grasses and by the physiographic categories in these regions. Northeast Region—This region occupies approximately one-third of Alabama's land area and includes the Limestone Valleys and Uplands, the Appalachian Plateau, and the Piedmont soil areas. The part of Alabama north of a line drawn from Florence (in Lauderdale County in northeast Alabama) to Clanton (in Chilton County in the center of the state) to Smiths Station (in Lee County in east central Alabama) roughly encompasses this area.
