It was an honor to have dinner with representatives from 15 Weakley County century farms, Dr. Keith Carver, Nutrien, and Co-op last night! We even had a family come all the way from South Carolina! Thank you so much to all who attended!

We had the most delicious steak dinner made by Robert Lovell and Simply Southern! Thank you to Yeargin Farms for hosting us at their shop and to Nutrien and Weakley County Farmers Co-op for sponsoring our dinner! It’s been such an amazing week celebrating so far and we can’t wait to see each of y’all tomorrow night at 5:00 for our Bicentennial Birthday Bash!
