LIMA, OH (WLIO) - The Allen Soil and Water Conservation District hosted their open house and annual meeting on Monday.
Monday's event gave the public and elected officials an opportunity to meet the staff, tour the facility, eat bratwursts and Italian sausage, and play some cornhole. In attendance was 84th House District Representative Susan Manchester who gave Your Hometown Stations a glimpse as to why it is important to support soil and water conservation efforts.
"Agriculture is so central to our economy and our community. As a farm girl who grew up on a farm family in Auglaize County, I know that for folks moving forward they want to make sure that our agricultural legacy in Ohio is protected, and I think partnering with the soil and water conservation district is a huge part of making that happen," says Susan Manchester, 84th House District Representative (R- Waynesfield).
Also at the open house and annual meeting, an election was held for the board of supervisors.
