Reveille, November 14, 2019 (Nov 15, 2019)

PROGRAM: The US Department of Agriculture;

Shane Eberling

Shane talked to us about the USDA Rural Development Program. Shane is the Area One Director in Missouri. The state has only four Rural Development area, so he covers a lot of counties in the region and hi job involves a lot of travel. Rural Development is divided into three segments—business, housing, and rural utilities. The loan program of rural development is a large part of what the agency does. Shane shared lots of fact sheets and pamphlets with us about the various programs and assistance available through USDA. It is one of the only governmental agencies that can build a community from the ground up. The Adair County office is located at 2410 S. Franklin Street.

Pictured above are Club President Jon Peck and Shane Eberling.
