Plan of Work: Leadership & Volunteer Development
Outcome: Intermediate Outcome
The Beef Cattle industry and the forage production that supports it play a major role in Montgomery County’s agricultural economy. Supporting this industry with educational programing, beef promotional events, social fundraising events and interactive producer tours are the 183 members of the Montgomery County Cattlemen’s Association. Although not as active this year due to the pandemic the Association with the assistance of the Extension Service has held 3 cooking drive thru events to help raise funds to continue to promote beef and to help the community. With these funds, donations have been made to the Montgomery County Homeless Coalition, a local Food Pantry, and the 4H/FFA Livestock Organization. Also through these activities, funds have been secured to again offer their annual college scholarships to high school seniors. The Association also owns and makes available to producers a hay wrapper, pasture sprayer, corral panels, cattle working chutes and scales. This Association continues to grow and support the needs of the Community and Beef Cattle producers in Montgomery County through its programs and activities.
