"The establishment of the Southern Ohio Agricultural and Community Development Foundation will go down in history as one of the most significant endeavors of our time!  Grant funding is helping to re-vitalize family farms and our rural communities.  As a facilitator between you and the Foundation, it is my responsibility to assist you through the process, while always being aware of the high level of accountability that comes with these economic opportunities.  Your calls to the above numbers are welcome.  I look forward to working with each of you!"    
...Ed Vollborn, Eastern Administrative Staff


 

"The economics of agriculture have changed dramatically over the past 10 years, not withstanding the ongoing and anticipated decline in tobacco production.  My goal is to help farmers sustain and diversify their farming operations to meet the demands of tomorrow's agricultural markets.  Never before have programs been available to instantaneously impact the efficiency and productivity of an individual's farm operation.  I strongly encourage eligible burley producers to take advantage of these opportunities to make their farms and family lives more productive for years to come."
