The Morgan County Extension Educational Farm was purchased by the Extension District Board with the vision of providing learning opportunities for Morgan County residents in their own backyard. Planned in conjunction with the County Extension Council Field Day committee, agents and staff hosted the third bi-annual evening event with more than 70 folks in attendance. Featured were on farm projects including the Cow/Calf Management Series, Basics of Curing Country Hams, Growing Hemp, Beginning Beekeeping, and Farm Fencing & Waterers.  Community organization displays and free health screenings were also conducted at the extension center. As a result of this event, greater awareness and appreciation of the Extension Farm was developed in the community leading to greater involvement and attendance at subsequent events.  As one community leader stated, “What it a difference it makes to be able to see these things without traveling two hours away to some place that doesn’t even look like us – this really is helpful.”
