The Feliciana Forestry Association hosted a successful Field Day on Friday, May 15, at the property of Dennis Aucoin. A group of 40 attendees toured the site to learn about his timber management practices across both pine and hardwood stands.
Participants had the opportunity to see firsthand how management decisions impact forest productivity and health. The tour also included discussions on tree genetics and practical wildlife management strategies, offering valuable insights for landowners and forestry professionals alike.
We appreciate Dennis Aucoin for hosting and sharing his knowledge, and we thank everyone who attended and contributed to a meaningful and educational day.

We have received several calls this week regarding unusual damage on vegetable gardens, including okra, squash, and tomatoes.
Symptoms being reported include interveinal browning or necrotic areas on leaves. Based on guidance from LSU AgCenter plant pathology, this damage is most likely the result of heavy rainfall followed by cooler temperatures.
While the symptoms may look concerning, this type of injury is weather-related, and plants are expected to recover on their own as conditions improve.
At this time, no treatment is recommended. Continue normal care and monitor plants for new, healthy growth.
We have included photos for reference. If you have questions about your garden, feel free to reach out to the LSU AgCenter office.
