Happy August All, 

We have several great educational programs coming up over the next few months.  Please check out the flyers in this Newsletter for more info on each.  
The Buffalo Trace Counties will be hosting a Lime & Fertilizer Study Field Day on September 10 at the old Hay Auction building in Lewisburg.  Earlier this year we began work on several research plots to see comparisons of different scenarios of lime and fertilizer applications.  It will be a great time to look at the differences in fertilizer vs no fertilizer and lime vs no lime.  Dr. Ray Smith will be our guest speaker.  We also plan to have 2 or 3 no-till drills on-hand to do a calibration session.  The event does qualify for CAIP education and is also a great way to go ahead and learn or get a refresh on how to calibrate, which will be a requirement for the Fleming County shared-use no-till drill when the county gets it in.
