Can you have too much rain? We know we can have too little. This year has been yet another challenge to hay

producers with fields being wet when the hay needed to be cut. Add to the soft ground situation, a randomly

visiting sounder or more of feral hogs and we all know what your hay fields and pastures can look like. Join us on

Monday, October 17th to evaluate hay samples (Sept 16 entry deadline), and discuss the issues of pest control

created by feral swine. These wild roaming animals are not just pasture destroyers; they can also carry disease

which could affect your livestock. Did you catch the information above about the fish fry? A meal will be provided

for the $5.00 per person attendance fee. This educational event is being supported by Walker County Farm

Bureau, Silveus Insurance Group (Rangeland Division), and American Plant Food, Inc. We appreciate their

continuing and long term support. We are pleased to report that the TU‐Mile Sportsman’s Association is also

supporting this educational program.
