“We appreciate them making the trip to Alabama to find out more about our cattle industry,” said Sparks. “Alabama ranks 14th in cattle production in the nation. We consider it an honor to have them visit and hope that they will become comfortable with what they learn here. It is the Department of Agriculture’s responsibility to make sure that our food is safe for our consumers. We want Koreans who eat Alabama beef to feel just as secure as we do about it here in Alabama.”
