Last month the agents in Smith, Rains, Van Zandt, and Wood Counties held a field day between Quitman and Emory to show the results of our second year of blacberry control efforts.
Calling all Smith County forage producers. Time is quickly approaching to enter hay samples into the 2007 Smith County Hay Show. This is the 23rd year for the event which doubles as an educational event for area forage growers and as a means of raising money for youth, conservation activites, and scholarships. Hay raised in Smith County or by a producer that lives in Smith County is eligible for entry. I recommend that you send in a sample from each cutting from each field you have. That way you get a great picture of your winter forage supplies before the critical feeding season gets here.
