The Shelby County Farm Bureau and it’s young leaders hosted their Annual Shelby County Farm Bureau Farm City Breakfast on Saturday. Young Leaders worked the griddles and served pancakes, biscuits and gravy, bacon, and drinks to patrons all for just one dollar. It’s a reminder that for every dollar you might spend on produce, roughly 15 cents of that could make it back to the farmer. Jeff Coleman, Young Leader with the Shelby County Farm Bureau, helps explain the purpose and awareness brought by the breakfast.

Coleman tells why he felt like joining Young Leaders was a must for him and some ways that the Shelby County Farm Bureau is serving agriculture in the county.

Beau Bennett, another Young Leader that joined the broadcast, discusses the time farmers find themselves in now. Bennett states that commodity prices are bringing down farmers bottom dollar.
