office closings

steve Cutlers proposal to close the farm service office in Highmore and move it to Miller is doing A big disservice to the community of Highmore and the farmers it is serving. Some of the farmers and committe members already have to drive 30 miles to highmore to attend meetings apply for loans or whatever other busines they have to do with the agency. If the agency is moved to miller that would be another 22 miles. With gas at 265 per gallon A hundred plus mile round trip would cost the farmer A minimum of 15 dollars plus his time. That would create an additionl hardship on the farmers the agency to serve.And also the workers if they have to drive the extra miles to their jobs. And if new offices and facilities have to be provided is there realy any savings being realized, John.
