By Staff
Results of this year’s election for a vacant seat on the Morgan County Farm Service Agency Committee were announced Jan. 13 by Susan L. Terry, County Executive Director of the Morgan County FSA.
Gerry Holmes of Falkville was elected to represent local administrative area LAA No. 3. He assumed his duties Jan. 1 and will serve a three-year term.
Marilyn Champion came in second, respectively, in the election, which was held between Nov. 6-7. County office employees tabulated election results on Dec. 9.
First and second alternates serve, respectively, in the absence of the elected committee member for a three-year term. They may also be called upon to fill the unexpired term of the committee member.
County FSA committee elections are held annually, according to Terry. Candidates are nominated by local farmers and ranchers, and must live in the county or local administrative area they will represent, and must be eligible to vote in the county election.
