Topics discussed during this morning's program were moisture and run-off, The Harrison County Tomorrow survey and teams, beef cattle and the recent national attention to "tainted" beef, rental machinery available at the office, the upcoming health fair, and the county fair.
Mr. Carter invited the public to visit the Harrison County Tommorrow[5] section of the extension office site. The site hosts information of the project, minutes from meetings, lists the development teams created and their focus, and offers contact information for committee members. Mr. Carter noted that he has seen a large number of younger citizens involved in these functions. On a related note, Rick mentioned the recent disbanding of the committee which had been organized to develop a plan for the new recreational park.

The Extension office has available for local farmers several pieces of equipment available for rental at low fees. Equipment may be rented for a mere $8 per acre and a refundable $50 deposit. This is a great alternative to buying new or used equipment for small farms wishing to keep costs low.
The Harrison County Health Fair will be held on April 4th [conflicting reports--according to an announcement made by the Community Education Center, the event takes place on April 3rd] at the Harrison County Middle School[6].

The extension office is already in the works of planning this summer's fair. One event which may occur this year is that of a demolition derby. Mr. Carter stated that he's seen and heard of interest for this type of event, and is seeing on the feasibility of holding such an event this year.
Mr. Carter made an announcement of a class being held next week for local farmers. Josh Renaker will be instructing a class next Monday through Wednesday at the Licking Valley Campus[7] of Maysville Community & Technical College, for farmers wishing to know how to put Microsoft Excel to work in record keeping functions. The class is near capacity, however, those interested are encouraged to call the office and reserve a spot on an alternate roster.
