Grant Subcommittee. Mr. Compton and Mr. Ranells, both long -term farmers, are looking

These appointments are consistent with the guidelines for the new Ag Economic
Development Grant Program approved by the BOCC at its regular meeting on March 3,

Grant Subcommittee consisting of five members appointed for the purpose of reviewing
applications for program grant funds, and stipulate that this subcommittee shall include
"two farmers who are members of the Orange County Agricultural Preservation Board."
