Clarke County Ag Newsletter

Greetings Ag Family,

Fall is my favorite time of year. The cooler temperatures usher in all the traditions that we have come to love: Friday night lights, harvest season, county fairs, livestock shows, and of course the Mississippi State Fair. Fall is a busy time of our year for our Extension Office as we are sending off soil samples for all of our hunters preparing their food plots, we are kicking off another 4-H livestock show year, we are looking forward to our annual Mississippi Forestry Association meeting, and we are always in full swing helping our clients and landowners lead better lives by providing research based information on a daily basis.

After the retirement of Mrs. JoAnn Price in May, we are excited to welcome Mrs. Shannon Driver, who joined us as our office associate in August. She comes to us with over 20 years of experience as a school secretary and her impact is already being felt, such as taking the lead on producing the extension newsletter. We encourage you to stop by any Monday through Friday from 8:00 to 5:00 and see the changes in our office. Shannon and I look forward to serving you as we strive to extend knowledge and change lives in Clarke County.

In Service,

Christy King
Extension Agent
Ag and Natural Resources, 4-H
