The Marion County Farm Bureau is celebrating ‘National Ag Week’ with a free drive-through breakfast Wednesday (this) morning at the Farm Bureau office on Route 37 North in Salem.
Farm Bureau Manager Brad Conant says due to current COVID19 concerns and restrictions, this year’s event will be held as a drive-through pickup between six am and nine am. The breakfast of scrambled eggs, pancakes, sausage, orange juice, and milk will be featured.
Participants are encouraged to enter from the south driveway, go around the building for pickup from the back door and exit from the north driveway.
There is no charge for this year’s breakfast, but donations will be accepted to support the organization’s scholarship and Agriculture in the Classroom programs.
The purpose of the breakfast is to demonstrate the value of food in America and the role that agriculture plays in providing it. Not only is America’s food supply the world’s safest, but it’s also the most affordable. The safe, abundant, and affordable domestic food supply produced by America’s farmers and ranchers are responsible, at least in part, for our nation’s increasing standard of living. Compared to food, Americans work longer each year to pay for their housing, federal taxes, and medical care.
