AG DAY<br />

A GREAT DAY<br />

at Great Jones Ag Day<br />

Annual ag breakfast spotlights local<br />

commodities for some family fun<br />

The smell of meat frying on outdoor grills wafted through the<br />

air at the Jones County 2nd Annual Ag breakfast in early June.<br />

The line of people patiently waiting for their chance to feast on<br />

eggs, pancakes, sausage, steak, yogurt, milk and coffee extended<br />

well into the parking lot of the Great Jones County Fair Equestrian<br />

Center on the mild, sunny Sunday morning.<br />

The event was sponsored by the Jones County Pork Producers,<br />

Jones County Cattlemen, Jones County Dairy Promoters and<br />

Jones County 4-H. Organizers said the goal of the event is to<br />

bridge the gap between consumers and producers in agriculture<br />

about what goes on at farms around the region.<br />

Family members of all ages enjoyed holding baby pigs, seeing<br />

cows and goats, participating in various ag education booths<br />

and hands-on displays, as well as visiting with friends, family<br />

and neighbors.<br />
