Make plans to attend this year's Ag Week activities. Stacey Baird, Beth Evans, and Heather Poynter along with several others have put together this year's Ag Week. This year's activities include the old and the new with many of our standby activities and several new additions.
It all starts March 17th at 6 a.m. with the Ag Breakfast. Mark Evans will discuss his new job as Putnam Counties Ag Extension Educator. Also at the breakfast will be our introduction of the 2009 Farm Family and Friend of the Farmer Awards. Set your alarm early and attend this event. Wednesday, March 18th the fairgrounds will be filled with Elementary students traveling from station to station learning about Agriculture. At noon on Wed. the Kiwanis/Rotary Ag luncheon will be held for those members and invited area farmers. The new Indiana Department of Ag Chairman will be on hand to discuss her plans for the future. Thursday activities begin after school with the Mini Farm Fest. Lots of booths and activities for both young and old will be available to tell the story of Putnam County Agriculture. What's it all cost? Breakfast is $1 and the rest is free. Ag week activities are sponsored by Putnam County Farm Bureau and several Ag organizations in the county. A complete list of sponsors is available on the Ag Breakfast program.
