The farmers and landowners in Knox County need your help.

It also helps them contribute to a cleaner environment, create local jobs, and support sustainable energy development in our state.
There’s a very controversial country music song "Try That In A Small Town" about policing that has been deemed having racist and lynching overtones.
Jeff Simpson, head of the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) said on his X account, "I hope this song goes to #1. The tolerant left is off the hook. People need to stand up and not be moved. Keep fighting for this country."
When another X user pushed back saying County Music Television has stopped the video because of the veiled references to lynching, Simpson replied, "Back in the day that was the penalty you got for doing really bad things. Today you get nothing." Simpson is the leader of 4000+ Central Ohio police officers and a Columbus Police Officer!
After social media back-and-forth, Tim Myers, a current deputy chief with Columbus Police wrote "Jeff, if you think lynching is 'the penalty you got for really bad things' you really need to educate yourself," "This is unacceptable." The City of Columbus is investigating and a Columbus Police Black officer has filed an EEO complaint with the city about Simpson in regards to these racist comments.
