Once again, please call your local Extension office to reserve a meal. The fund has been organized to remember the dedicated service that Dr. Beaty performed as a veterinarian for livestock producers in the region. The fund will provide scholarship money for worthy students who express an interest in agriculture, and especially in animal husbandry or animal care, and who have participated in the County Fair. Miss Brandon Brunson, a veterinary student at Auburn University, was the scholarship recipient in 1999. The Pecan Growers Field Day is free and is open not only to veteran and novice pecan growers, but to anyone interested in learning more about pecan production.
Some fields are still sub-threshold.
A few are over the threshold now. With soybean prices as low as they are, we must use a treatment threshold and time our treatment for when it can do the most good. Stinkbugs are most damaging at early podfill. This is when full size pods appear and have small seeds formed. There are more stinkbugs in field edges, so be sure to get a representative sample.
