| SEPTEMBER 2, 2011 -- The Agriculture Committee of the CT State Grange is starting its “Quarterly Spotlights”. Every Quarter we recognize outstanding Grange members in the State. We give them a story in The Granger as well as feature them on our Facebook and Twitter page. If you know a Grange member who is doing something extraordinary in the field of agriculture then please send their name, contact information and a brief statement about what they are doing to Agriculture@CTStateGrange.org
