Alabama agriculture exports, now at $1 billion, must double in the next decade if we are to keep up with world food demand and remain competitive in the international marketplace, according to Commissioner John McMillan of the state Department of Agriculture & Industries.

Alabama farmers and agribusinesses must adopt what McMillan calls a "global approach" to agriculture production.  To this end, the Alabama Department of Agriculture & Industries on May 15 will hold a one-day conference for farmers and agribusinesses to provide insights on international trade and how to export products to foreign markets.

"Exports mean jobs and greater opportunity for Alabamians. Our competitors, especially Canada, have in recent years moved aggressively into international markets and taken a major position in agricultural exports," McMillan said.

The Alabama Public Service Commission announced today that AT&T has voluntarily decided to discontinue third-party billing in Alabama by the end of summer.  The Commission is pleased with AT&T’s decision to implement this course of action.

The practice known as “third-party billing” allows merchants to charge for goods or services sold to a customer by including the charges on the customer’s AT&T phone bill.  The merchants who utilize third-party billing are typically small to medium sized, internet based businesses.

President Lucy Baxley stated, “One of the first things I did when I took office four years ago was to end cramming by third party vendors. Today I commend AT&T for taking steps to completely eliminate third party billing. What was once a convenience is now a problem for many consumers.
