COVINGTON — Farmers looking to get the most out of harvest equipment might be interested in an upcoming event at a local Apple Farm Service.

Topics during these meetings include pre- and post-servicing, daily maintenance, field starting advice, operating tips, walk-arounds of current and new models, and others. These following clinics are designed to help new and veteran machine operators during the following dates:
• Tuesday, Sept. 10, at West College Corner, Indiana.
