Farm and Family

At  2 p.m., Thursday, June 30, we will spend an interesting afternoon thinking about a time when the pace was slower and people actually put lace on the edges of their hankies instead of using Kleenex!

The Kentucky Extension Homemakers Association convened in Bowling Green May 9-12, for their 78th State Meeting.  More than 600 attendees from across the state took part in the four-day meeting which celebrated “Homemakers-Rockin’ to the Beat.”

Wendell and Carole Truman of Bethlehem will celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary on June 18, 2011. They were married at Berea Christian Church in 1961.

The first in a series of four pasture walks hosted by the Eden Shale Grazing Network Initiative will take place from 6:30 to 8 p.m., June 2, at the Eden Shale Research Farm in Owenton.  The grazing network, overseen by a committee of forage experts, is designed for participants who have an interest in managing their forages and pastures for improved profitability. The walks provide an opportunity to see how others manage their forages, pastures and livestock while providing a chance to critique and question the operator.
