The Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service will conduct a range and brush management program beginning at 4 p.m. on Thursday July 7th at the Brown County Fairgrounds, 4206 U.S. Highway 377 South in Brownwood, Texas.

We have had a really wet spring so most pastures are covered in weeds, many of which are toxic to livestock. Unwanted brush species continue to encroach and take over good grazing land. Some of leading specialists in the state will be making presentations. So if you have questions concerning weeds, brush control, cattle insect pest management, or aquatic weed control in your farm pond don’t miss this opportunity.

Topics and speakers include:

• Toxic Weeds, Dr. Robert Lyons, AgriLife Extension Range Specialist, Uvalde, Texas
• Controlling Weeds in Farm Ponds, Peter Woods, AgriLife Extension Program Specialist, Bay City, Texas
• Weed and Brush Herbicides, Ralph Porter, Dow AgroSciences, Abilene, Texas
• Mistakes with Range Herbicides, Dr. Morgan Russell, AgriLife Extension Specialist, San Angelo, Texas
• Pesticide Laws and Regulations, Scott Anderson, County Extension Agent Ag & Natural Resources, Brown County

Six (6) Texas Department of Agriculture continuing education units, two laws and regulations, one integrated pest management, and three general will be offered to licensed pesticide applicators.

Individual registration is $30 payable upon arrival for those that RSVP by July 1st and $40 thereafter.  Fees include a catered meal. For more information or to RSVP, call the AgriLife Extension Office n Brown County at 325-646-0386.
