Tuesday July 1st is the date of the Annual Brown County Range and Brush program. It will be held at the Brown County Fairgrounds located on HWY 377 South (towards Brady). The program will begin at 4:30p.m. Five (5) CEUs will be offered to TDA licensed pesticide applicators.

“The on-going drought has not affected brush emergence and encroachment. If anything, it may have eliminated some forages that compete with unwanted brush species.”

“We have some of the leading Extension and industry specialist lined up to speak at the Range & Brush program.”

Speakers/Topics include:

Dr. Bob Lyons, Where to Find Brush Control Answers

Mr. Ralph Porter, Herbicides for Brush Control

Mr. Doug Steen, Controlling Coyotes/Feral Hogs

Dr. Morgan Russell, Common Mistakes with Brush Herbicides

Neal Alexander, Pesticide Laws & Regs

There will be a $25 registration fee payable at the door for those that pre-register by June 27, 2014. Otherwise, it will be $30. A catered evening meal will be included.

“This July 1st program will be a prime opportunity to find out the most up to date information and strategies from the leading authorities on brush, coyotes, and feral hogs. Plus, you can get 5 CEUs.”
