Farm Bureau Ordered Out Of Court House
The Appanoose County Board of Supervisors orders the Farm Bureau to vacate its offices in the Centerville court house by January 1, 1984. The dispute stems from a past failure to grant the county allotment and a related lawsuit seeking payment under state law. Both sides await a State Supreme Court decision, with expectations running high.
