“Good morning, Carroll County, and If we don't mention the score of that pickleball game, I will be fine with that. But Commissioner Gordon and I did our best.

This is an important discussion, and I'm glad Commissioner Kyler mentioned what he had because this board does, just so everybody understands, this board actively supports this ag preservation program. It's something we spend a lot of time on, and we're wholeheartedly behind. The request for the ag study that came out of the master plan meetings, that would be helpful to have. You probably have sent it to us already, but if you don't mind resending it, that would be great. The issue of 100,000 acres, I think that it's worth mentioning, and I'm not…”
