🎣Next Friday in Grundy County!! 🎣
⬇️Details below ⬇️



Everyone knows someone who has a pond! That's why we are inviting everyone to join us at the TVEC Priority Team Extension Pond Management Field Day on Friday afternoon, May 2, 2025 in the beautiful mountains of Grundy County, TN. The program should be interesting, and we also promise to feed you a wonderful country fried fish dinner and it's all free!!! We have some awesome organizations who have stepped up to sponsor this amazing afternoon. Did I mention it is free!!! We look forward to seeing you on the mountain, May 2nd, where eagles sore and bass live too! If you cannot make it just send someone (or 2 or 3) in your place, and we will "dive" into all things pond management on the mountain in Grundy Co. and it's all free!!! Hey, this would make a great weekend to spend with us on the mountain too and there are many Airbnb's, scenic opportunities for Saturday and Sunday outings and some great food and fun. We hope to see you there!

Congratulations to our Secretary/Treasurer Jim Bledsoe!

The Tennessee Agriculture and Forestry Leadership Program (TAFLP) announced its first group of participants starting in 2025. Developed by the Naifeh Center for Effective Leadership and various partners, TAFLP is an 18-month program to enhance leadership in agriculture and forestry.

TDA is honored to support this initiative to strengthen rural leadership in Tennessee - and is proud of TDA employee Mark Powell for being a part of this inaugural group.

Participants will connect with others in the agriculture and forestry industry and take tours of farms, forests, and businesses. They will also attend leadership development sessions to enhance communication, leadership, critical thinking, entrepreneurial, and strategic planning skills.
