Hubert Yarborough, Jr. was only on the Board for two years. Attending meetings, for which he only received roughly $40 each time, wasn't worth the headache. He also missed work. Other than the payments for the meetings, neither he nor his wife received money while he was on the Board. Mr. Yarborough has submitted his 2021 tax return and will submit the 2022 and 2023 once they are completed. The drought and the economy have brutally affected farmers for over a year.
