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.
