Please join the Baxter County Conservation District for its annual Local Work Group Meeting and the 2025 Fall Pasture Conference/Field Day Event on Thursday, October 9, 2024 starting at 5:00 p.m. at the Baxter County Fairgrounds Education Building located at 1507 Fairgrounds Drive, Mountain Home, Arkansas.
The Local Work Group Meeting is a community discussion about conservation priorities in Baxter County, Arkansas. This meeting is open to all residents, farmers, farm workers, forest owners, loggers and resource professionals. Your feedback will be considered by regional professionals in natural resource management and agriculture and incorporated into the NRCS ranking system for awarding financial assistance to producers.
It is critical that we incorporate the goals and needs of Baxter County residents into developing priorities for program direction and funding. We need your help to decide which challenges you are facing on your land or in the community of Baxter County, along with the appropriate solutions for these challenges.
Following the Local Work Group Meeting, we will hold our annual Fall Pasture Conference/Field Day Event. These events are a gathering of agricultural stakeholders aimed at educating participants about specific management practices, promoting sustainable practices, discussions about emerging trends in agriculture and showcasing innovative technologies. There will be concurrent breakout sessions. One session will be focused on topics for beginning farmers and the other session focused on topics for experienced farmers.
The Local Work Group Meeting is from 5:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m., dinner is from 6:00 pm – 6:30 p.m. and the Pasture Conference/Field Day presentations begin at 6:30 p.m.
Partners this year are the Natural Resources Conservation Service, the Baxter County Fair Association, the Baxter County Cooperative Extension Office, Arkansas Department of Agriculture, Quail Forever and the Arkansas Game & Fish Commission. Dinner and dessert will be catered by Holy Smokes BBQ.
