Rural segment again hosted the annual Farm-City Day event, with the luncheon attendance over 250. Morning tours involved the construction site of the new Hardin County Extension Office, completed Livestock Events Center, and T&L Log and Lumber.

This company not only processes logs into lumber but also is exporting lumber products to the Pacific Rim.
