Winter Round Table Series

We all know that if you ever need to learn anything, you go to the round table at your nearest coffee shop.  The “Round Table” always seems to be hub of information in any county.  This winter I will be hosting several Friday morning meetings that I have affectionately named “The Round Table Series”. 

This series will take place on Friday mornings, beginning January 9th and run through March 20th.  The Friday morning of the meetings, the Extension Office will be open at 7am for coffee and breakfast will ready by 7:30am.  Then we will start our meeting at 8am.  Each meeting should last about 45-60 minutes and cover topics such as potassium deficiency in soybeans, nutrient management for water quality, pond management and more.

Our McLean County Farm Bureau is graciously sponsoring the breakfast at this series of winter meetings.  Hope you all will join us for coffee, breakfast, great fellowship and some good learning this winter.
