Focus on Farming Conference Report

Thanks to all for a great day!

We want to sincerely thank all who participated in the County's Focus on Farming Conference this past November.

We know that many participants gave up a day of work, or paid others to do their work for them, so that they could come and share their ideas and experiences with us. We deeply appreciate this willingness by busy working people to invest their valuable time in forging a new and better partnership with County government.

Thanks to the phenomenal turnout for this event, more than 300 growers, farmers and ranchers, we heard the voice of Snohomish County agriculture loud and clear. And, if any particular theme sounded more strongly than others, it was this positive one:

Again, we express our heartfelt thanks to all who helped organize and who attended this conference for making it such a resounding success.

Best wishes to you from all of us at Snohomish County for a healthy and
prosperous 2005.
