Rusk farmer model highlighted for National Farmers Memorial
A Rusk County farmer Tom Heath is among models for a National Farmers Memorial to be unveiled September 1 at the Agricultural Hall of Fame in Bonner Springs. Sculptor Lewis Watkins of Brooksville Florida and composer Robert Moffa, also of Brooksville, created a three panel sculpture and orchestral works to accompany the dedication, expected to be opened by the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture. The project began in 1981 to honor those who work the soil and raise livestock.
