USDA Service Center to host ‘Open House’

The Warren County Farm Service Center, a long standing fixture in the Warren County agricultural community, will host an “open house” for friends, neighbors, and producers on Wednesday, August 24th from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. The office has recently moved to its new location – at the corner of Highway 70 Bypass and Faulkner Springs Road.

“We are excited about the location and the opportunity to provide our farmers and friends an opportunity to tour our new offices and also to discuss current farm programs and activities that are provided by the Farm Service Center,” said Steve Stubblefield of the Farm Service Agency.

The new service center is home to the Natural Resources Conservation Service as well as USDA’s Rural Development Agency, and the Warren County Soil Conservation District. Preston Grissom heads up the Natural Resources Conservation Service. Mr. Hayden Bradley Jr. oversees FSA’s Farm Loan operations for Warren and surrounding counties. The Rural Development Agency is managed by Larry Harkleroad.

“We want to encourage everyone to come by our new office and visit with us and see what we have to offer,” Grissom said.

In addition to touring our facility, refreshments will be available and door prizes will be awarded as well.

“I think everyone will enjoy visiting the new service center facility and find it to be convenient and efficient,” Bradley said. “I would like to encourage all of our borrowers and customers to come in visit us as well.”

The public is invited to stop in and visit the Warren County Farm Service Center located at 811 Faulkner Springs Road. The Service Center is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. until 4:30, except on national holidays.
