Some of the state property was last seen at Farmer's home, according to the department's records, including several laptops. At least $10,842 in computers issued to Farmer or directly to his office are unaccounted for. New Agriculture Commissioner James Comer announced Wednesday that he had asked the state auditor to thoroughly review the department.
