Tom Coffman from the Rice County NRCS is taking a permanent vacation after 37 years of working for the Natural Resource and Conservation Service. A  retirement party (or roasting) will be held for Tom on Wednesday, December 29, at the American Legion in Faribault. The social will begin at 5PM and the dinner at 6PM. Swedish meatballs with mashed potatoes and gravy will be served.

The cost of the dinner is just $11. Please RSVP to Debbie by December 16 at the Rice County SWCD and NRCS office in Faribault if you would like to attend. If you have pictures or stories about Tom, also contact Debbie. It had been a pleasure working with Tom all the years I have been at KDHL. I suspect almost all the farmers and landowners in Rice County know Tom. Many have worked with Tom on the conservation provisions in the Farm Bills.
