🌟 Spotlight Thursday 🌟

This week, we’re proud to introduce Chairman Tim George!

A lifelong Andersonville native, Tim joined the Anderson County Soil & Water Conservation District Board in the 1980s and has been a dedicated advocate for agriculture and conservation ever since.

Tim has been farming for as long as he can remember. In 1971, he began milking cows with his uncle before starting his own farming operation in 1977. Over the years, his farm has included dairy cattle, to***co, hay, and corn. After selling his dairy herd in 1986, Tim continued growing corn and to***co while expanding into beef cattle.

Today, Tim manages around 700 acres of farmland and owns 330 head of beef cattle, continuing a lifetime of hard work and stewardship of the land.

On October 29, 2024, Tim and his wife, Sonya Jo George, were recognized for their outstanding leadership and service to Anderson County, particularly in the areas of agriculture and 4-H youth development.

Tim’s extensive knowledge of livestock, farm management, and conservation, along with his commitment to serving our agricultural community, make him an invaluable leader and a tremendous asset to our Board of Supervisors.

Thank you, Tim, for your years of dedication to agriculture, conservation, and the people of Anderson County! 🌾🚜💚

🐝🌼 Wildlife Wednesday 🌼🐝

Did you know? Bees and other pollinators play a vital role in agriculture by helping pollinate many of the fruits, vegetables, and flowering plants we depend on every day.

One of the best ways to support pollinators is by planting native wildflowers and creating pollinator-friendly habitat. These habitats provide essential food and shelter while also benefiting wildlife and improving biodiversity.

Interested in establishing a pollinator habitat on your property? Financial assistance may be available through Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) conservation programs for eligible landowners.

Contact the Anderson County Soil & Water Conservation District to learn more about pollinator habitat, other conservation practices, and whether your property may qualify for assistance. We’d love to help you explore your options!

💡🐄 Tip Tuesday 🐄💡

Give your pastures time to rest!

Rotational grazing allows livestock to graze one pasture while other paddocks have time to recover. According to the University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture, giving forage adequate rest can improve pasture productivity, support healthier livestock, and help reduce soil erosion.

Healthy pastures start with good management—and small changes can make a big difference!

Interested in learning more about rotational grazing or other Best Management Practices (BMPs)? Contact the Anderson County Soil & Water Conservation District! We’d love to talk with you about conservation practices that can benefit your farm and discuss whether your operation may be eligible for financial assistance through Tennessee Department of Agriculture (TDA) or Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) conservation programs.

Stop by the office or give us a call—we’re here to help!

🌾 Farm Fact Friday 🚜

"Did you know that fewer than 2% of Americans are farmers, yet they help feed millions of people every single day?" Source: American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF), Fast Facts About Agriculture & Food; based on USDA Census of Agriculture data.

Farming is more than a job—it’s a way of life built on early mornings, hard work, faith, and dedication.

From caring for livestock to planting and harvesting crops, farmers work tirelessly to provide the food that ends up on our tables.
This Friday, take a moment to thank a farmer for their commitment to feeding our communities. ❤️🌱

Super cool representation of a safe prescribed burn at a farm in Anderson County.

"This practice can be used to accomplish one or more of the following purposes:
• Manage undesirable vegetation to improve plant community structure and composition
• Manage pests, pathogens, and diseases to reduce plant pressure
• Reduce wildfire hazards from biomass accumulation
• Improve terrestrial habitat for wildlife and invertebrates
• Improve plant and seed production, quantity, and/or quality
• Facilitate distribution of grazing and browsing animals to improve forage-animal balance
• Improve and maintain habitat for soil organisms and enhance soil health

Qualified individuals complete a written prescribed burn plan with specifications for each site using
approved burn plan templates, specification sheets, implementation requirements, and technical notes, in
support of the conservation plan. Ensure landowner or operating manager has obtained all necessary
State, local, and Tribal permits prior to implementation of the burn plan."
(information from NRCS prescribed burning practice standard)

Special thanks to the landowner, NRCS, TWRA, NWTF, & Quail/ Pheasant Forever!
