SQC - The acronym will appear many times over the course of the next year in articles. SQC is short for Sesquicentennial, which will be the 150thyear celebration June 10-14, 2020 in Appleton City. Preparation has already begun. It will take the entire community to make it happen like in the past town celebrations. The core committee hopes everyone will become involved, which includes the simplest things, like being in the audiences, attending the events and wearing period dress or tee shirts that have Appleton City on them. But, there is so much work, that volunteers are needed to come forward. They have asked people whose talent may berecognized from past service but there are so many others that have talents we do not know about. Please let the committee know your abilities. 57 areas have been identified that need committee members. They will entertain suggestions, but they need to know ideas now to see if will work into the schedule. They know some people are last minute to everything, but that really doesn't make it easy for those trying to get everything in place. This SQC is a celebration of what has happen in the past to the Appleton City area, so think historical for this celebration...generic activities can take place any year. Step forward with what you'd like to be involved doing during the event. Contact maybe made by us mail to Linda Lampkin, 1704 NE County Road 14963, Montrose, MO 64770, 9-9pm 660-476-5857, acmolampkin@yahoo.com
More weeds are invading pastures and reducing available acres for cattle to graze. This can lead to reduced pasture utilization and reduced profit potential of the cattle operation. Reducing weeds in pastures increases grazable acres for cattle which should improve pasture utilization and profit potential for the cattle operation. Also, profit potential can be improved by better cattle grazing management and incorporation of forages to extend pasture grazing through the fall and winter. University of Missouri Extension will be providing a pasture and forage management workshop in Nevada, Mo. on August 2. The workshop will be held at the Centennial Building at the Vernon County Youth Fairgrounds at 1488 East Ashland St., Nevada, Mo. 64772 at 2:00 p.m. MU Extension speakers and topics covered are as follows: Pat Miller, MU Extension Regional Agronomy Field Specialist, will be discussing pasture weed control and improvement; Patrick Davis, MU Extension Regional Livestock Field Specialist, discussing forage alternatives to extend the cattle grazing season. The cost of the workshop is $10 per person. Registration, along with payment for the workshop, needs to be done by August 1 and in to the Vernon County MU Extension Center (100 W. Cherry St., Vernon County Courthouse, Nevada, MO 64772). For questions or more information, contact the Vernon County MU Extension Center at 417-448-2560 or Patrick Davis by email at davismp@missouri.edu. Contact them immediately if you need accommodations because of a disability, need to relay emergency medical information or need special arrangements if the building is evacuated.
