Last Thursday, 76 women attended a Farm Woman Appreciation Day that was held at the Double Eagle Country Club near Eagle Bend. Jim Lunemann of Central Ag Services started the program by welcoming everyone. Lunemann said he learns a lot from farmers by what he refers to as “milk tank talk”. From those talks he gets asked plenty of questions and based the topics of the day on some of them to answer some frequently asked questions.
