Farm Bureau Office to Close Saturday Noon
Cook County Farm Bureau directors vote to close the office at noon on Saturdays during July and August to curb late market hours. A 2 PM market opening depends on farmers staying off streets at night, with Randolph Street Market agreeing to 2 PM if farmers avoid evening presence. The marketing committee expects the city will not permit evening market hours and warns this could delay a 2 PM start. For South Suburban bus service, call Interocean 9744.
