		<description>Mr. Claude-As an informed farmer, I can point out that you are speaking about which you know not!! Your complaint has absolutely nothing to do with the Farm Service Agency.</description>

		<description>Perception breeds ignorance!!  Obviously some folks are terribly misinformed about the day to day operation of the Farm Service Agency.  The description of what they do from a previous poster is way off base.  Go by and see them, sit down and talk to them, they will be glad to explain the complexity of their programs to you.  They will be the first to tell you consolidation is not a bad thing, but they can also show you that there are other counties in our state that do far  less work with more employees.  Instead of bashing the job they do, why don&#039;t you become an informed member of our community and fight for them!!</description>

		<description>I am not saying it is a good thing that they are closing this particular office - but I am glad to see that our government realizes that they have to make some cuts being that ALL of us as U.S. citizens have had to adjust to this downfall of an economy.  Now if our government will just start implementing the same rules and guidelines for themselves like they are trying to put on us - then the economy might actually turn back around.</description>

		<description>If you have concerns please go to the meeting. Making accusations that may or not be true isn&#039;t why they are having a meeting. They are having a meeting to see whether or not they need to close this operation here. I know many people who use this office to gain information regarding problems with crops or new crops they may want to plant. It isn&#039;t about what&#039;s free and who gets it.</description>

		<description>This office is the only one within reach of many farmers in the area. People should not (and probably will not) drive for over an hour to get to the new proposed site. I realize the government needs to make some cuts but closing this office would place a hardship on many of the farmers in the area. They need access to information here, not somewhere else!!!</description>
