DANVILLE -- Some farmers in Vermilion County took a break from the fields to try a new job. Several were bagging groceries at County Market. The Vermilion County Farm Bureau organized the event since March is Agriculture Month.

The farmers chatted with customers and answer questions about their jobs, all the while making sure eggs and bread aren't shoved to the bottom of the bags. An interesting fact farmers shared with customers, 94% of all farms are family owned.
