Proposal
Question: How can the Lee County Area Farmers educate the community? Answer: In order to educate the community the Lee County Area Farmers need to make their selves more known in the community. We need to participate in social events and make speeches. In addition to this we could advertise in our community and have days set up for the community to learn more about us (like an open house of fun-day). Agriculture is very important in our community and the number of people involved is decreasing; we need to get our numbers up and explain to people what we do and how important we are.
