Farm and Home

Marion County high school student Jason Miracle recently returned home from Kentucky Farm Bureau’s Institute for Future Agricultural Leaders (IFAL).
Miracle and 43 other high school students from around the state attended the five-day summer leadership conference, held June 20-24 at the University of Kentucky.
An identical IFAL conference was also held June 13-17 at Murray State University for an additional 45 students.

Who among us is guilty of not noticing it until it’s too late?
Yes, all of a sudden there is nothing left of your blue spruce or arborvitae. Bagworms have been munching on the needles for weeks and we wonder how it all happened.
Well, they are at work right now so go outside and take inventory of your evergreens because that’s what the bagworm likes the most. Now is the time they do their damage unless we put a stop to it.

If you called the office last week or emailed me chances are you were told I was off....well on vacation!  I had a great week with my wife and kids, it was nice to relax and just stay home for a few days.  We only made two day trips including a trip to the Indianapolis Children’s Museum and I must admit if you have kids it is a must see.  There were lots of hands-on activities and some really awesome things to see even for us big kids.
