EVERGREEN, Ala. – U.S. Representative Shomari C. Figures (D-Ala.) recently toured GreenPoint Ag’s facility in Evergreen, Alabama, as part of the Agricultural Retailers Association’s (ARA) coordination of congressional facility visits for ARA members during congressional recess periods.

“The Agricultural Retailers Association is a key partner in empowering our farmers, securing our food system, and promoting economic growth in rural communities. My visit today was insightful and reminded me of the importance of supporting the agricultural businesses and the people who drive this industry," said Rep. Figures.

“We are honored to welcome Representative Shomari Figures to our GreenPoint Ag location in Evergreen. His commitment to supporting rural communities and agricultural innovation aligns perfectly with our mission to serve growers across the Southeast. This visit reinforces the importance of collaboration between public leadership and agribusiness to drive sustainable growth and prosperity,” said Joey Caldwell, GreenPoint Ag’s Senior Vice President of Growth and Strategy.

GreenPoint Ag's Evergreen, Alabama location is one of two CN bagging facilities owned by GreenPoint Ag. The Evergreen location is set up to receive products by rail and bag them for distribution and sale in both GreenPoint Ag's retail and wholesale businesses.
