Our program last month was very interesting. Dr. Joanne Logan gave a very informative discussion about drought conditions and how to find all you ever wanted to know about the weather and trends on the internet. Several questions were raised and discussed and I think everyone went away with a better understanding of how climatic conditions affect our everyday lives. Thank you Dr. Logan, and thank you Tim Prather for getting her.

Our program for our next meeting is being arranged by David Walker. He is getting Gary Lessman Ph.D., Associate Professor Emeritus, UT Soil Science program. He is going to talk about soil fertility, soil sampling, and fertilizer application to be efficient and cost effective. This should be a very informative program. I hope everyone can come and socialize a little and learn something at the same time.

We are moving forward at trying to have a Fall Show at the Anderson County High School. They seem to be receptive to the idea. The timing is the biggest concern. No definite answer as of this writing, but maybe by meeting time.
