We had a fantastic turnout for the Annual Warner Hall Field Day on Tuesday!
Everyone loves this event, and this year was no exception. A special thank you to Dr. Christine Coker for sharing insights on using tillage radishes as a cover crop. Such valuable information! Our horticulture agent, Jessie Hoover, even planted some tillage radishes as a demonstration at Mr. Hall’s farm. Great people, great learning, and a great day!
