We recently held our Harvest Celebration fundraising event on May 5 at the Barn on the Lake in Fort Meade, and a great time was had by all. This is a critical fundraising event for the Polk County Farm Bureau as the proceeds from this event benefit our agriculture education objectives and help us protect and promote farmer and rancher businesses in Polk County.
