From the Extension Agent's Desk

I just wanted to pass along some information concerning the new tax bill and how it affects farmers.  The following information came from our Ag Business Management Specialist Jeff Tranel.  Hopefully you find it useful.  There are, of course, still a lot of questions.

It’s hard to talk about “The Post” without talking about how the film is clearly trying to dominate awards season. A good place to start is with the Oscar pedigree among its cast and crew. Tom Hanks is a five-time Best Actor nominee, famously winning two years in a row in the mid-90’s. Meryl Streep is a 20-time nominee, winning three times. Producer and Director Steven Spielberg is a 16-time nominee, winning three times and also receiving the special Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award.

This quick Southern dish contains no added fat and very little added salt in its spicy tomato sauce.
