Show FmHA Readies Vote For County Leaders Farmers in Garfield and Kane counties will choose one person from among two candidates running for the Farmers Home Administration county committee in the June 30 election, FmHA County Supervisor Kendell Brinkerhoff said. Any person who has an interest in a farm in the county as owner, tenant or sharecropper is considered a farmer and is eligible to vote, Brinkerhoff said. Spouses of eligible farmers also are considered farmers for voting eligibility. Ballots for the election are published in the June 16, 1988, edition of the Garfield County News and also are available at the FmHA county office at 225 East Center in Panguitch. If they cannot be returned to the county office in person, ballots may be mailed in, Brinkerhoff said. Among other duties, county committees help determine whether an applicant is eligible for a FmHA farm loan. Two of the three members are elected by county farmers, and the third is appointed by FmHA. |
