Some may say there is a time and a season to step away, but sometimes that moment comes not by our own choosing, but when God determines it is time. This man gave his life in service to others. RIP to the Honorable Congressman David Scott.

It’s essential we work together to support our state’s #1 industry and the farm families who fuel its success.
