“The Pike County Extension Office is hosting Farm Day for local schools on November 16 at Cattlemen Park,” Sanders said. “The Touch a Tractor opportunity will be available at local elementary schools during Farm City Week.”

Deborah Huggins-Davis is chairing the project to provide agriculture related books to local libraries and is also coordinating the Farm City Tour, which is an event of Farm City Week.

The 2021 Farm-City Job Swap will be between Stephanie Baker, KW Plastics, and local farmer Holston Motes.

Sanders thanked Bobby and Pauline Catrett for their work on the float for the Peanut Butter Festival Parade in Brundidge on Saturday and for the Farm City booth at the Pike County Fair in October 2-6.
