    <![CDATA[The annual meeting of the North Carolina Farm Bureau Federation was held Dec. 3-5 at the Sheraton Four Seasons and Joseph S. Koury Convention Center in Greensboro. Randal Barnes, Wilson County president, was recognized among his peers at the Presidents’ and Agents’ Luncheon. Farm Bureau President Shawn Harding presented each winning county president with a limited edition Case knife. Wilson County/Godwin Agency and Wilson County/Thomas Agency were also recognized for having 100% of the agents individually winning the contest, which qualified their county president for this recognition. A special plaque was also presented to the Wilson County/Clint Godwin Agency for qualifying as Top Agency Statewide in its category for Top Life Production Premium Credit. Top row, from left, are Jamie Pipkin, Lori Thomas and Missy Batten. In the middle row are Vincent Lively, Jeremy Lott, Shannon Braswell, Randal Barnes and Shawn Harding. In the front row are Brandon Hamm, Hunter Jernigan, Mitch Whitley and Michael Arnette. Clint Godwin is not pictured.]]>

    <![CDATA[A mowing tractor caught on fire Thursday afternoon in the field between Fike High School and Ward Boulevard. Wilson Fire/ Rescue Service’s Deputy Fire Chief Jim Campbell said the fire was possibly due to a leak in the fuel line. Fire crews extinguished the flames, but not before the fire engulfed the tractor. The accident resulted in the loss of the $5,000 tractor. According to Wilson County Schools officials, the tractor belonged to the school system. Campbell said no one was injured. Christopher Long | Times]]>
