Make plans to attend the first ever Tennessee Bobwhite Heritage Festival on Saturday, October 5th, in Jackson, TN.
It's going to be a fun day for the whole family. There will be speakers, demonstrations, vendors, exhibitors, a silent auction, food trucks and tons of fun activities for the kids. The event is $5 per car.
It will be a great day to learn how we can help bring back the bobwhite population in Tennessee!
It's harvest season and farmers are working hard to get crops out of the field. This means we'll see an increase of slow-moving farm equipment on the roads.
Please be extra cautious and patient when following and approaching tractors and other farm machinery.
Stay back, enjoy the scenery, and share the road! Our farmers are doing an important job for us!
As kids get ready to head back to school, they're always so excited to pack their backpacks full of new supplies! Did you realize that almost all of those supplies are connected to agriculture?
As you pack backpacks together this year, use it as an opportunity to teach our kids how important agriculture is and how it plays an active role in almost every single aspect of our lives!
The Paris NRCS & Henry County SWCD had a great time at the 2024 Henry County Farm Fest. Around 400 fifth grade students from Inman, Harrelson, Lakewood and Henry schools attended the Farm Fest at the Henry County Fairgrounds. Each student was gifted a Henry County SWCD backpack full of goodies.
We are always grateful for the opportunity to teach students about agriculture & conservation in Henry County!
Did you know that when one raindrop hits the ground, it has so much energy that it can splash soil particles 3-5 feet?! Check out these rainy day facts below and learn how we can help reduce soil disturbance on the ground while also improving our soil health and water quality!
