Sorry for the hiatus

With the winter season definitely upon us and snow piled in every knook and cranny available, there is not much happening in the agronomic sector of Richland County these days. While looking at the piles of snow everywhere is not my idea of entertainment, some comfort can be taken in the fact that, eventually it will melt and hopefully most of that moisture will be absorbed by the ground and available in the early spring when needed.

To help take our minds off of snow and replace those thoughts with good agricultural-related information, producers should plan on attending the MonDak Ag Days and Trade Show. Ag Days will take place on January 13 and 14 at the Richland County Event Center located on the Richland County Fairgrounds. Thursday's lineup of speakers will be geared more towards our ranching friends while Friday's topics will focus on crop production, soil health, and weather.

I will not go into great detail regarding the schedule, but encourage you to check out the web site above. Ag Days will surely be a great event with a vast array of products and services displayed in the trade show area and great information disseminated during the educational sessions.

For more information and details regarding Ag Days, give the Richland County Extension Office a call at 406-433-1206.
