In the past, the Pike County Young Farmers, The Pike Central FFA, Purdue Extension and The Pike County Farm Bu- reau, Inc. co-sponsored the breakfast. This year, it will be a supper and, because it now includes groups reach- ing outside Pike County, it has become the Southern In- diana Ag Day Meal. It is scheduled for 4 to 7:30 p.m., Saturday, March 23 at the Otwell Communi- ty Center. Instead of serving a breakfast for $1, they are now serving a supper that in- cludes pork chops, turkey ten- ders, cheesy potatoes, baked beans, coleslaw, coffee, drinks and desserts for $ 3. The price roughly rep- resents what the farmers would get for those prod- ucts at market. They will also have a leg- islative question and answer session. Eighth District U.S. Representative Larry Buc- shon, State Senator Mark Messmer, and State Repre- sentatives Shane Lindauer, Matt Hostettler and Ron Ba- con are scheduled to be in attendance. They will talk about various legislation being considered by their branch of government and answer questions beginning at 6:30 p.m. Other activities include: free health screenings, an- tique tractor display, and a bounce house and obstacle course for kids in the gym. If you would like to have a booth, or donate to this event, feel free to call the Pike County Purdue Coop- erative Extension Office at 812-354-6838. If you need a reasonable accommodation to participate in this pro- gram, prior to Ag Day, con- tact David Ackley at 812- 354-6838.
