The Indiana State Fair and Corteva Agriscience announced the 2024 Featured Farmers that will be
recognized during the 2024 state fair.
Wabash County's Advanced Ag Resources Inc. will be featured on Tuesday, Aug. 13.
Featured farmers will participate in a live chat at 2:30 p.m. each day in the Glass Barn.

Mondays.
Senate District 17 will be well represented by Advanced Ag Resources Inc. at this year's fair, and I congratulate them for being selected this year.

Expanding Disaster Relief for Hoosiers
|
Indiana communities are more likely to experience severe weather this time of year, which can unfortunately lead to damaged homes, schools, businesses and farmland.
As you are likely aware, tornadoes recently struck communities in East Central and Southeast Indiana, causing heavy damage. Fortunately, there were no deaths thanks
to our emergency personnel's quick response, but assessing the damage can be devastating, and navigating the rebuilding process can be difficult.
The state offers financial assistance through the State Disaster Relief Fund to help eligible Hoosiers and local governments recover. To help improve that program, I supported a new law this year to increase the maximum amount of relief funding applicants may receive from $10,000 to $25,000.
Hoosiers should never worry about money over their safety after a natural disaster. If you or someone you know was recently impacted by severe weather, please
contact Indiana 211 for more information on available resources.
