I am glad for the closure. The current socialistic system is unsustainable and unconstitutional.

That’s what happens when you cut budgets. We’re all having a big time at the tea party until something we like gets cut, then we start screaming about how it’s all Obama’s fault. If you voted Republican, this is what you voted for. Happy?

Richard thank you for pointing that out.

Jeff Miller has been in office over ten years now, may be time to clean house on him as well

I am an Independant, I say send them all to the gallows, republicans and democrats, vote em out of office.

OH BTW Obama wastes more than $16,000.00 everytime he cranks AF ONE.This government studies the mating calls of evry animal and other rediculous studies and cant afford $16,000.00 for rent onOffice space!!! How much is spent in Milton? Look at the FSA expense accounts for wining and dini9ng? maybe an eye opener!

I havent lived in Escambia County since i left for duty in USAF in1968. I now live south of Omaha,NE in Cass County.
I have a question.. Shouldnt FSA offices be where the majority of AG producers live and work? Last I knew Milton was growing with asphalt and buildings. Maybe an FSA office there is better for the Dept of AG to have their fine dining and recreation @ expense of Farmers/Ranchers. Makes more sense for FSA to be in Molino, Davisville, Jay, Walnut Hill., but Milton? Dont understand that logic. It would be like putting an FSA office in downtown Omaha for Ag producers 30 miles away!

This closure (and others) is a direct result of cuts proposed and voted for by Republicans. Not President Obama, but Republicans. If you want to blame someone, blame Jeff Miller, that’s right, Representative Jeff Miller.

Remember who didn’t represent your interests when you vote for in November.

There has been an Ag Ext Office in Molino way before most of the nay sayers were born. Why is it a problem now.

Yes Taxpayer there are a few so called armchair gentleman farmers looking for a tax shelter, but if you drive through the northend, you will see large scale agri projects underway, that feed us and others. That is what the USDA is about, promoting and supporting agri bussiness on all scales. Supposed to be anyway, I had better read their mission statement just to be sure.

Obama’s fault? What happened to all the ‘anti-government’ support for cutting programs? I thought most of you would be for this since it is tax dollar supported.

I bet if you look at the parking lot of this meeting it would be a bunch of king ranch F250 king ranch edition trucks. Drive to milton? Well at least they will do it with a ag exempt truck to go get thier ag welfare money.
