Julie had brought to our attention that other counties were having a program for “Women in Ag.” She had had
a few people asking about the program. Jerry will explore this programming opportunity.
Jerry brought to our attention that the Missouri Cattleman’s Association have an 18” x 30” liability sign that

for $45. Seconded by David Seat. All yes.
