Rural segment again hosted the annual Farm-City Day event, with the luncheon attendance over 250. Morning tours involved the construction site of the new Hardin County Extension Office, completed Livestock Events Center, and T&L Log and Lumber. The log and lumber stop was hosted and conducted by one of our new young beef producers that became involved in Extension as a result of the Beef IRM Farm Program. This company not only processes logs into lumber but also is exporting lumber products to the Pacific Rim.
