Indiana Ag Director to Speak in La Porte County

(LaCrosse, IN) - A top state official on Thursday will be in southern La Porte County addressing uncertainty farmers might be feeling about the recent changes at the White House.

 

Don Lamb, Director of the Indiana State Department of Agriculture, will speak during the annual La Porte County Farm Bureau chili supper in LaCrosse.

 

His focus will be on whether agriculture will be impacted by the new administration and its new “Make America Healthy Again” mission.

 

The event is free and open to the public.

 

La Porte County Farm Bureau President Mark Parkman said it’s natural for farmers to feel uncertainty whenever there’s a new president and new administration.

 

“Mr. Trump has been relatively favorable to Ag in the past, but you never know,” he said.

 

The doors will open for the chili supper at 6 p.m. at The Center at 100 S. Washington St. in LaCrosse.  People coming are asked to bring a dish to go along with the chili and drinks that will be provided.
