Centerville - A Farm Pond Management - A to Z seminar will be
hosted by the Texas Agrilife Extension Service in Leon County on June
13, 2008 at the First United Methodist Church in Centerville, Texas.
The program will be held from 6:00p.m. to approximately 9:00 p.m.
Registration will begin at 5:30 p.m. and the program will start
promptly at 6:00 p.m. with a meal provided to each participant.
With summer coming, this is an excellent time for landowners to be
thinking about how to best manage their ponds to optimize their use for
recreational and other purposes, said Tommy Neyland, AgriLife
Extension agent for agriculture and natural resources in Leon County.
Neyland said program topics will include farm pond overview, feeding
and fertilization; and weed and brush control in and around ponds.
Three general continuing education units will be offered for program
attendance.
Besides fishing, ponds provide many practical benefits, from erosion
and fire control to livestock watering, irrigation and other
applications, Neyland said. Knowing about farm pond management
benefits not only the landowner but also the surrounding community and
area wildlife.
The program is open to the public; however, preregistration and a fee
of $10.00 is requested for all attendees. You may preregister by
contacting the Texas Agrilife Extension Service at 903.536.2531 or by
email at Leon-tx@tamu.edu
Extension programs serve of all ages regardless of socioeconomic level,
race, color, sex, religion, disability, or national origin. The Texas
A&M University System, U.S. Department of Agriculture, and the County
Commissioners Courts of Texas Cooperating.
