Today’s Program
Our program today was given by Tricia Stever-Blattler of the farm bureau. She gave us a little history of the organization and what it does for farmers. She said, like our club, the farm bureau was losing members as big corporate farmers were buying out the family farm.
Go Duke says, Lion Tom Link.
