Shutdown hurts locally: A Sad notice to farm community 2013-10-16 - Farm Service Agency, Campbellsville RD, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Will sanity return to Washington, DC, today? Yesterday, area farmers were greeted by this sign at the Farm Service Agency: "The U.S. Department of Agriculture office is currently closed due to the lapse in federal government funding. The office will reopen once Congress restores funding." Consensus is that it couldn't come at a worse time of the year for the agriculture industry, a major component of the Adair County economy. It's at a time when farmers are planning for next year's crops and financing their enterprises. - CM Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
