Gearing up for Ag Day 2015 with its theme "Agriculture: Stewards of a healthy planet," the stewards of Putnam County recently took a few minutes to recognize agriculture in the community. At their latest meeting, Putnam County Commissioners (from left) Rick Woodall, David Berry and Don Walton proclaimed Saturday, March 12 to be Ag Day throughout Putnam County. Ag Day co-coordinator Heather Poynter joined the commissioners for the proclamation, while co-coordinator Brandy Ames was unable to attend. The festivities will kick off with the annual $1 pancake and sausage breakfast from 8-9 a.m., followed by a 9 a.m. program featuring the South Putnam FFA parliamentary procedure team that recently won the state competition. Following the program, the 2016 Ag Hall of Fame and Friend of the Farmer award winners will be honored. Finally, the free Mini Farm Fest will take place from 9:30 a.m.-noon.
