Fletcher Barber, Jr. <br />County Extension Director <br />Dr. Barber welcomed everyone to the meeting thanking them for attending. He stated <br />that the purpose of this meeting is to formulate ideas for the 2001 Agricultural Summit. <br />Dr. Barber noted that the number of farmers that attended last year's Agricultural Summit <br />was down from the year before.
