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 />
