We had a great turn out today for our Community Outreach Event. We know it is one of the busiest times right now for all our producers, so we would like to thank all the producers who took time away from their schedules to come out. We also want to thank our partner agencies that took time out of their schedules as well to update everyone on their programs. A special thank you to Keith Dunn for being one of our special guests and speaking about precision ag. We also want to thank Hanover-Caroline SWCD for helping us out literally with a moments notice. The entire team there is absolutely amazing and so knowledgeable! We are so thankful and fortunate to be able to work with the best producers, agencies, and other Soil & Water Districts every day.
We only got a few pictures because we were so intrigued by all the information we were learning.
