Bill and Glenda Long opened their new business – Long Lasting Auto Detail Shop –  April 1. Since then, it has been nothing but blessings, according to the pair.

Glenda, the daughter of Pauline and the late Buck Taylor of Magnolia, had moved away for about 25 years and had been longing to come home. Her husband Bill and she had lost their jobs in Charlotte, N.C., where they lived. Glenda’s grandmother, Mayme Clyde, passed away and while they were home visiting, they decided to call LaRue County home.

The LaRue County Farmers Market is open each Thursday during the growing season with an assortment of bedding plants and hanging baskets. Joanna Hinton had asparagus, herbs and potted plants for sale as well. The sales will be held each Thursday afternoon in the LaRue County Extension Service's parking lot from 2 to 5 p.m.

More than 30 high school students from four states will participate in the Western Kentucky University Department of Agriculture’s Agriculture Students Striving for Effective Tomorrows Conference in June.

The wheat disease Fusarium head blight or head scab is at significant levels in many wheat fields across LaRue County and the state.

FHB attacks wheat near and in the flowering stage. It can be particularly severe during wet weather. The continued wet, cloudy conditions the last few weeks provided excellent conditions for infection and likely favored multiple infection periods, which has resulted in a lot of disease development.
