TRUMAN — Wear blue to show your FFA pride on National Wear Blue Day tomorrow at work or school. FFA makes a positive difference in the lives of students and agriculture.

Truman will be having a community garden this summer. The raised plots are located behind the school. If you want to raise vegetables and reserve one or more spaces, please contact Pat Jones at (507) 236-4433. The produce you raise will be for your use or if you want to sell your produce at the farmers market that would also be welcome. We are offering you free seed for your raised garden plot. If you would like assistance, help is available from our local county extension office. This could make a good project for youth, a family, or for 4-H.
