Darke County Farmers Union recently held their Fall Harvest-Salute to Farmers meeting on October 27 at the County Extension Office in Greenville. Over 40 turned out to honor the 4-H Youth that the Farmers Union supported at the recent Darke County Fair by either purchasing their livestock or by sponsoring their trophy.
Members also heard from several candidates and State Issues 1 and 2 were discussed. Farmers Union is supporting a “Yes” vote on State Issue 2.
Featured speaker for the evening was Dave Shindollar, insurance rep from the OFU State Office who discussed health, nursing home insurance, Part D Medicare drugs, and estate planning. A representative from US Sen. Sherrod Brown’s office also spoke at the meeting.
