Logan County Extension reproduced 34 issues of the asset newsletter published by the Search Institute which was sent to 1853 students. Surveys from 173 families were collected. The primary educational method is the media with weekly news columns and radio spots. A demonstration area for a variety of landscape plants has been established south of the Central Services Building. Additional improvements will be made to the area this year.
Programs are available upon request with respect to lawn, tree, garden, and houseplant care.
Manure management plans for three feedlots seeking county permits were reviewed. Local homeowners are also provided with crops and soils information about land purchases. For example, most recently Fred and Janice Green were unable to find an engineer to look at damp soil and structure under a house they were wanting to buy. They brought the soil samples, frosty white fibers , into the office for Steve and Randy to identify. The problem was identified as calcite salt, not mildew or fungus.
