Dine At The County Line

(Le Mars) — Siouxland’s Agriculture in the Classroom along with the Iowa State University Extension and Outreach of Plymouth County will be holding an event next Thursday entitled “Dine on the County Line.”  The purpose according to Melissa Nelson is to encourage communication between local farmers and area residents that no longer have a connection to the farm.

This is the first time for this event and Nelson explains how the idea got started.

Nelson says several farm and commodity organizations are assisting with this event.

The Dine on the County Line event will take place at the Lowell Vos farm of rural Kingsley, located just a quarter of a mile west of county road K-49 on the Plymouth side of the county line between Plymouth County and Woodbury County. The
Siouxland Ag in the Classroom official explains the targeted audience they hope to attract at this outdoor dining event.

Nelson explains there is a registration of $20 per person, or you can reserve a table for six people for $100.  Every table will have a farmer host and additional agricultural professionals will also be available for further discussion and to answer questions. Nelson says the meal will consist of a several courses.

The Dine at the County Line will begin at 5:30 next Thursday, August 24th and people can register either online with the Plymouth County Extension and Outreach office in Le Mars, or with the Siouxland Ag in the Classroom.
