Holmes County Farm Bureau members receive awards

Jeremy Rolling and Dorrain Sawyer with Holmes County Farm Bureau were among Panhandle community members recently recognized by Florida Farm Bureau for helping North Florida farm families impacted by Hurricane Idalia.

The two were given an Outstanding Neighbor Award at the organization’s membership breakfast during the Florida Farm Bureau annual meeting held Oct. 25-27 in Orlando.

Six semi-trailers of fencing and supplies were delivered to farmers, ranchers, and rural families in the Big Bend region, a news release said.

Other award recipients were Lance Molley and Chris Jernigan with Arnold Lumber, Brett Bailey with Bailey Lumber, and Larry and Pam McArthut with McArthur Company.

“Their selfless efforts have made a significant impact in the lives of those affected by the hurricane, Rolling said. “Their contributions helped provide essential fencing supplies, support, and hope to fellow farm neighbors.”
