Joe DeVorss presented the program to members of the Trenton Rotary Club, who traveled to the DeVorss farm for its meeting and social on Thursday night, Sept. 23.
DeVorss told about his chestnut tree crop, which he started over three years ago. He has both seedling-grown and grafted trees, which are starting to produce chestnuts that he will be able to sell. He said chestnuts are more popular overseas, however, they are gaining popularity in the United States. There is a Chestnut Festival held yearly at the University of Missouri Farm at New Franklin, where persons can learn more about the crop. The group also took a tractor tour of DeVorss’ farm to see the chestnut trees.
The next club meeting will be at noon on Thursday, Sept. 30 at the BTC Bank community room. Ryan Tepen will present the program.
