Danny F. Coombs would like to ask for forgiveness and a waiver request on behalf of Jim Harper for not filing his 2020 Tier 2.1 PFD form. Mr. Harper resigned from their board on 7/8/2020 to serve as a President of the Louisiana Farm Bureau Federation. A blank disclosure form was mailed to him by their secretary, but it was sent to the wrong address. Therefore, he did not receive it and did not realize it had been turned in.
