UADA Hot Spring County Agriculture

UADA Hot Spring County Agriculture Our mission is to provide research-based information through non-formal education to help all Arkansans

The Hot Spring County Extension Service provides information needed by producers from hay production to beef genetics. Since producers have experienced an overpopulation of w**ds in their fields due to major drought conditions recently, Extension staff has concentrated on w**d control and performed numerous w**d control demonstrations during regular farm visits. Knowledge gained from training and

education has helped producers purchase appropriate chemicals to control different w**d problems. Producers have become aware of lost yieldage occurring on their farms from either lack of nutrients or w**d canopy cover over their established grasses. Utilizing w**d control practices and some established rotational grazing, county producers have saved thousands of dollars on hay and winter feeding costs. These savings are being put back into the land by fertilizing and spraying areas left untreated before due to lack of funds. Contact our county office for more information on services, education and training for county producers and homeowners.

Several people have seen the most recent announcements about beef imports and have several questions.

Dr. James Mitchell, University of Arkansas Assistant Professor and Economist took a deeper look into how that will affect cattle producers.

"At best, this announcement could delay the beginning and/or limit the pace of U.S. herd rebuilding. At worst, if the resulting price pressure and uncertainty are large or persistent enough, it could cause producers to abandon expansion plans and create longer-lasting damage to rebuilding efforts."

New Master Gardeners receive 40 hours of training in botany, soil science, plant propagation, pest management, pesticide and herbicide usage, vegetable and ornamental plant gardening, and w**d identification, pruning and other horticulture related subjects. In exchange, Master Gardeners donate back to the community by maintaining a few garden projects, answering questions, researching specific problems, planting educational and therapeutic gardens, providing public speakers, and much more.

If you have a love for gardening, like to share your knowledge with people in the community, and have time to commit to the training as well as the required volunteer service, you would make a good Master Gardener.
