Farm and Family

The wet, humid weather has not been easy for many tobacco crops. Many crops have been starting to show considerable damage due to target spot and frogeye. Both of these diseases are caused by true fungi unlike water molds such as black shank and blue mold. In many cases, foliar fungicide applications may be necessary for effective management.

Bring the whole family to this event that is free and open to the public at the Henry County Fairgrounds on Saturday, July 30!
The day will open with a live broadcast on WHAS with Reed Yadon and the Chamber of Commerce Breakfast of old ham and fresh farm eggs that starts at 7:30 a.m. and runs until it is gone.
A full locally raised breakfast is available and includes eggs and country ham, biscuits, gravy and a beverage.
