It was so very good to see the number of residents who have an interest in agriculture show up at the meeting on the 13th to investigate the formation of an Agricultural Commission in Effingham. It was even more heartwarming to hear the support to move ahead without wasting time in getting the article on this years warrant. It will take some legwork, and selling to our neighbors and friends but we will succeed in establishing the commission. Once the voters approve the article in March, then our work is really ahead of us in reviewing the ordinances in existence and working with the planning board and ZBA in getting some ordinances and policies in our favor. We have to show that agriculture is a vibrant business in town with a future in maintaining the flavor of Effingham that we have come to love.
Let's get out there and get the signatures to get the issue on the ballot, and show the town what small towns are all about.
