The Kentucky State Fair The best...

The Kentucky State Fair is one of the highlights of the agricultural year in Kentucky. As a farm kid from Scott County, I have many fond memories of past state fairs. It’s a chance to rub elbows with our neighbors, reunite with friends from across the Commonwealth, and show off the best that Kentucky agriculture has to offer. The 113th edition of this great tradition is Aug. 17-27, and, as always, the Kentucky Department of Agriculture (KDA) is pleased to be a part of it.

Cyrus Bivens wins TSC award

Fair season is back and Tractor Supply Company’s Mobile Fair Tour is making its way to the Kentucky State Fair. From Thursday, August 17 to Sunday, August 20, fairgoers will have the opportunity to visit the 3,000-square-foot experience and join the rural lifestyle retailer in recognizing 4-H and FFA youth who are making a difference in their communities.

Eclipse excitement

There has been a lot of buzz this past month about the total solar eclipse that is supposed to occur on August 21.

I am not going to regurgitate all the information about it since our correspondent Ron Benningfield wrote a well written and informational article about it.

Fun, friends, leadership

Fun, friends and leadership. That’s what 27 LaRue County FFA members came to know during the camp at the Kentucky FFA Leadership Training Center in Hardinsburg, Kentucky.

The 13 chapters present were involved in activities like softball, volleyball, soccer, ropes course, water ball, and many others. Members were also a part of classes like agriculture advocacy, conservation, and going to college, in which they gained the skills of everything from leadership to communication to learning ways to survive.

Establishing late-summer forages

The period from late summer into early fall in Kentucky is the best time to establish the common cool-season grasses such as orchardgrass, tall fescue, timothy and bluegrass for pasture or hay. These four grasses make up 95 percent of pasture acreage.

Many years of research have shown this time frame is the best opportunity for successful establishment. Mother Nature has a hand in this because seed produced in late spring remains dormant until late summer and then early fall rainfall provides the moisture necessary for the seed to germinate.

Last Saturday was the annual Cobb Family Reunion. This is an annual event open to the community. The 137th Church Anniversary/Homecoming was a big success. It was a reunion with Reverend Aaron Moss, Sr., former pastor of Lane Lincoln CME Church, and First Baptist. It was a great homecoming indeed.
