This is a great thing for the community!!

Please respect their requests!

It’s that time again!! Sweet corn is ready. All fields will open tomorrow morning June 17th and will remain open until all corn is gone.

Few things for everyone to remember
1) please be respectful of each other and please only get 120 ears per family so everyone who wants corn has an opportunity to get some

2) we have had a ton of rain this year. Please do not drive into the field — vehicle traffic causes soil compaction, leaves ruts, and increases the risk of getting stuck.

3) most importantly enjoy the corn!!!!

Field locations

4260 South Wilson Dam Rd in Muscle Shoals AL

On Isom Way in Tuscumbia Al
West of Tuscumbia Co-Op on South side of Hwy 72

Corner of Northpike and Crosslane in Cherokee Al
3138 Northpike is the closest physical address

We absolutely enjoy providing this small courtesy to the community. To be able to share some of what God has blessed us with!!!
Enjoy the sweet corn and we hope everyone has a great summer!!!

Thanks so much
Your friends from Isbell Farms

Mother Nature wins this weekend……

🚨Important Announcement🚨

Due to the amount of rain received and current track conditions, we have made the difficult decision to move the 1st Annual Walker Ranch Truck & Tractor Pull to our rain date of July 24–25.

The safety of our pullers, fans, crews, and everyone attending comes first. We want to provide the best possible experience and deliver the first-class event everyone deserves.

We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate the continued support from our sponsors, pullers, vendors, volunteers, and fans.

The wait will be worth it — we’ll see you July 24–25 for two nights of horsepower and excitement!

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO READ!!!!!!!!!

📢With worsening drought conditions across the state and low relative humidity, State Forester Rick Oates has issued a statewide Fire Alert effective immediately.

Over the past weekend, 50 wildfires burned more than 2,300 acres of forestland across the state. This includes a 500-acre wildfire in Mobile County, one for 412 acres in Coosa County, one for 382 acres in Choctaw County, one for 260 acres in Washington County, and another one for 105 acres in Escambia County.

In the last 30 days, 387 wildfires have burned approximately 15,850 acres of forestland across the state.

“With no measurable rain in sight, the continued extremely dry conditions create dangerous wildfire behavior,” said Oates. “These conditions create the potential for fires to escape easily and spread rapidly, taking longer and more of the agency’s firefighting resources to contain. Fast-moving wildfires not only destroy property and forests but also threaten the lives of citizens and endanger firefighters.”

This Fire Alert will remain in effect until rescinded by the State Forester, at least through Monday, April 20. Conditions will be reevaluated at that time. Permits for outdoor burning will be restricted only to Certified Prescribed Burn Managers. Anyone who burns a field, grassland, or woodland without a burn permit may be subject to prosecution for committing a Class B misdemeanor.

The Alabama Forestry Commission is the state agency committed to protecting Alabama’s invaluable forest assets and its citizens. To report a wildfire, call (800) 392-5679. For more information on the current wildfire situation in the state or any other forestry-related issues, contact your local AFC office or visit the agency website at www.forestry.alabama.gov
