Onionrich, you have to ask yourself this question. When has the government made a good decision lately? LOL. They are going to do what is convenient for them, not anyone else.

The Conway FSA office has only two employees because the former chair of the FSA office retired in December and the replacement was placed on hold. The Morrilton doesn't have the space for the people or the files that are in the Conway office so they will to find space or obtain a new location while there is space in the NRC to accept the Morrilton operation within the building. The Perry County office was consolidated with Faulkner County in the past. The facility, the Natural Resource Center, houses multiple agriculture-related agenmcies in one building and the facility was hailed when it was dedicated as the "model" for how they should be done. So much for the model.
