Courtney Beal with the U of I Extension (Bond-Clinton-Jefferson-Marion-and Washington Counties) sits down with Big Jake to discuss their current canned food drive going on that will see a big push during the Mt. Vernon Rams game on Saturday, 2/8.
Tony Wielt, your local State Farm Agent in Mt. Vernon stopped by the Big Jake show this morning to discuss the upcoming Jefferson County Chamber of Commerce Home & Outdoor Expo at the Times Square Mall.
More information via the flyer below. This year, the Mt. Vernon Township High School FFA are also working with current and former FFA members to collect livestock supplies to send to those affected by the recent hurricanes. If you would like to donate, MVTHS FFA will be collecting items the same time as the scholarship BBQ. Hope to see you there!
Ag Literacy Coordinator at the Jefferson-Hamilton County Farm Bureau, Lucille Schlablach stopped by the show. We discuss their upcoming pancake breakfast and the importance of teaching our young people where their food comes from and farmers/agriculture.
