Fire Ant Quarantine and Hay

|

Farmers planning to ship hay this winter need to be aware that Smith County (as is much of East Texas) is in the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) Fire Ant Quarantine area. 

Just a few days after a local producer reported to me that he was the target of a scam attempt involving hay he had listed for sale on the Internet, I heard from our State Forage Specialist, Dr. Larry Redmon, that three different producers in Arkansas had been the targets of attempted scams as well.
