Enjoyed talking to mountain farmers

To the Editor,

I just want to express my sincere appreciation to the farmers of Haywood County, the members of the Farm Services Agency and the Haywood County Cooperative Extension office for providing the public with the opportunity to ‘Talk To a Farmer’ last Monday evening.

A barbecue dinner was provided and everyone was very welcoming and gracious to answer even the most basic questions concerning farming.

The evening was very informative and enlightening, especially to those of us with no prior knowledge of what it takes to run a farm and produce a successful product.

Thank you again for taking time out of your busy schedules to provide us with this wonderful opportunity. Hopefully this will be an annual event!!
