Congratulations to both the late John Pedigo and Emmett Sefton on being inducted into the MCFB Farmers Hall of Fame! We want to recognize and celebrate these two individuals who have contributed a great deal of time and effort into the agriculture industry with their years of service to make agriculture in Macon County better for us all. It was special to have Teresa Pedigo, John's daughter, and Steve Sefton, Emmett's son, in attendance to accept on their fathers' behalves. Congratulations, again!
