Hoosier farmers are getting praise from the governor for their generosity during the COVID-19 pandemic. “Our agriculture sector has long been our state’s original calling card, for over 200 years, since we were forging our way out of the forest,” Governor Eric Holcomb said during Tuesday’s COVID-19 press conference. “And still to this day, they are stepping forward and having an impact on the most vulnerable, making sure that our communities are all stitched together and every mouth that’s in need is being cared to.”
Governor Holcomb listed several agriculture businesses and organization that have been donating food to their communities. He noted that Belstra Milling has donated over 1,600 pounds of ground pork to an area food bank, and the American Dairy Association of Indiana has been passing out gallons of milk at the Indiana State Fairgrounds.
