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 second annual evening event with more than 150 folks in attendance. Featured were on farm projects including the Replacement Heifer Demo Herd, Basics of Curing Country Hams, Tomato & Pepper Growing Advice for Home Gardens, Pastured Poultry, Farm Facilities to Maximize Profit and Kate the Cow. County fair exhibits, 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.
