Multi County New Landowner Educational Final Series Nov. 18

The Multi-County New Landowner Education program is a series of seven informational meetings, seminars, and field days designed to make new landowners in Austin, Colorado, Fayette, and Washington Counties aware of what types of agricultural enterprises are best for their property.

The last program for the 2022 series will take place on Friday, Nov. 18, at the Blinn College Rankin Ag Complex located at 1409 Old Mill Creek Rd. Brenham. Topics to be covered: Bee Keeping Basics, Trees for Texas and Landowners.

Beekeeping continues to be a hot topic, especially for medium to small acreage landowners. Before you jump in headfirst and order the equipment and a hive of bees, come learn what to expect. We will hear what it takes to raise honeybees in this area of Texas, some of the challenges they face, and what they’ve found to be good solutions. In addition to bees, we will take a portion of the afternoon to talk trees. In Texas and especially in our part of Texas, trees are a valuable commodity that landowners care about and strive to keep them healthy and vigorous. Come learn about tree biology, how to recognize common tree problems, and how to manage for tree health. We will “leaf ” no question unanswered, discussing planting, pruning, watering, fertilizer, insect and disease control.

Don’t miss this wonderful opportunity. Two CEUs (1 General, 1 IPM) will be offered for all licensed pesticide applicators.
