(Seymour, IN) -- Home Federal Bancorp (the "Corporation") announced today that
the Board of Directors has approved the second repurchase, from time to time, on
the open market of up to 5% of the Corporation's outstanding shares of common
stock, without par value ("Common Stock"), or 247,780 such shares. Such
purchases will be made subject to market conditions in open market or block
