To teachers and students, spring break means time away from goals and learning. Farmers in our area recently took their own kind of spring break—a half day away to listen to the experts. FCA Co-op was pleased to sponsor this opportunity for our customers to listen, discuss, and mingle.

If you attended, be sure to tell us what you thought of this new event. Email me at jsvoboda@fcajackson.com. Some of what we heard is included in this newsletter, but there was a lot more, so if you couldn’t take your spring break with us this year, plan to attend in 2013.
