UT/ TSU Extension Meigs County

Just received this helpful article on tick control from Dr. Lew Strickland, UT Extension Veterinarian, and wanted to pass it along!

If you're looking for practical ways to reduce the tick population in your cattle pastures, this resource outlines management strategies that can help protect both your herd and your operation.

Be sure to give it a read and consider which control measures may work best for your farm.

What a great morning spent with an amazing group of ladies at our FCE County Council meeting! 💙

We had a productive time planning activities and programs for the remainder of 2026, and I continue to be grateful for the dedication, ideas, and servant hearts these women bring to our county.

We also started planning an exciting new project that will launch this fall: Sewing Through the Generations. 🧵

More details are coming soon, and we can’t wait to share what we have in store!

Campers are 20 minutes away!!!

Our final camp 2026 memories…we partied like it was 1776, swam our hearts out, learned to clean, and made even more memories!

We’ve been busy the last day and a half at camp. We had the Green County Sheriffs Office K-9 Division come visit, creek exploration, astronomy walk, early morning cookout, fun at the pool, recreation extravaganza, and so much more.

Join us for a cozy evening in the kitchen as we make a fresh strawberry pie from scratch!
