BROWNWOOD – What plant is that? Find out by attending the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service’s Pasture Plant Identification Tour set for 4 p.m. Oct. 1 on the Burns Ranch.
Burns Ranch is 13 miles north of Early on U.S. Highway 183 or five miles south of May on U.S. Highway 183.
Scott Anderson, AgriLife Extension agent in Brown County, said Ricky Linex, wildlife biologist with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service, in Weatherford will be the expert providing instruction on pasture plant identification.
“We’ll also have ranch owner, Dr. Paul Burns with us that day to discuss their management and pasture reseeding techniques,” Anderson said. “We’ll also tour parts of the Burns Ranch. So, if you want to really see what reseeded pastures can look like, make plans now to attend this program and tour. I think it will be well worth your time.”
Two Texas Department of Agriculture continuing education units will be offered to licensed pesticide applicators.
Individual registration is $10 payable on arrival.
