Tuesday, July 13th is the date of a Multi-County Range/Brush program. This program is being conducted by the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service. It will be held at the Brown County Fairgrounds located at 4206 US HWY 377 South in Brownwood. Registration will begin at 8:30 am and the program at 9:00 am.
Brush encroachment continues to be an expensive problem to deal with. It doesn’t take long for weeds and brush to choke out good desirable grasses forcing a reduction in stocking rates of livestock. The wet weather this spring is causing weeds and brush to outgrow our pasture grasses. If left unchecked, these pasture invaders can even make large areas undesirable for some wildlife.
Speakers and topics for the July 13th program include:
- James Jackson, Range and Pasture Specialist, Alligare, Stephenville
- Alligare Herbicides for Range/Pastures
- Reagan Noland, Extension Agronomist, San Angelo
- Roundup (Glyphosate) Myths and Facts
- Jamie Halfman, Pasture and Land Management Territory Manager, Corteva Ag Sciences, Garden City
- Corteva Herbicides for Range/Pastures
- Birttany Chesser, Extension Aquatic Vegetation Management Specialist, College Station
- Farm Pond Aquatic Weed Management
- Scott Anderson, County Extension Agent AGNR, Brown County
- Pesticide Laws and Regulation
There will be a $40 registration fee payable at the door. A catered meal is included. Pre-registration is required by July 5, 2021.
