Jennings County’s Farm Bureau office was honored at the organization’s recent state convention for a project that had significant impact in its community.

The office received an Impact Award in the Membership Experience category for its effort to rebuild the shelter house at the North Vernon City Park, home of the Jennings County Farmers Market.

The previous shelter was condemned for structural reasons. The county Farm Bureau office was instrumental in starting the farmers market in 1998, which fueled their determination to rebuild the structure, according to a Farm Bureau news release.
