The Logan County Ag Day Breakfast is scheduled
to take place on the first day of spring, March 21, at 7 a.m. in the
Laughlin Center on the campus of Lincoln Christian College and
Seminary. The event, in conjunction with National Ag Day, celebrates
the role and creates an awareness of agriculture in America.

In addition to a delicious farmer-style breakfast catered by
Guzzardo's, keynote speaker Dick Burns will dish up big helpings of
wit and humor as he describes life-on-the-farm experiences. The
program will also include updates and information on the latest
agriculture news, legislative issues and forecasts. The highlight
of the annual gathering of agriculture and business leaders is to
award scholarships to area students pursuing degrees that will lead
to careers in ag-related fields. This scholarship program has
awarded over $25,000 to Logan County students over the past seven
years.
