Bonita Springs, Florida, January 20, 2004 - Twenty nine Midwestern "agriculturalists" met in Bonita Springs, FL recently to take part in the annual Midwest Ag Breakfast. Perkins Restaurant was the meeting place for the group whose members hail primarily from Illinois.
This was the fourth Midwest Ag Breakfast. The whole affair is quite informal and is directed primarily at fellowship and visiting. Participants are asked to introduce themselves and tell a little bit about where they are from and how they are involved in agriculture.
Steve Lake, Leonard Johnson, and Bob Jackson from DeKalb county have been involved in making the arrangements for the breakfast. Next year's get together will be on Tuesday, January 18, 2005 at the same Perkins Restaurant in Bonita Springs. Check this web site for more information as next year's date approaches.
