Ashtabula County Agri-Culture Newsletter

Last modified 2008-02-25 11:28

The Ashtabula County Agri-Culture newsletter focuses on local Extension programs, current updates in each commodity area, and management issues which affect the broad spectrum of agriculture that we enjoy in Ashtabula County. As the agriculture industry moves further aware from its Agrarian roots, it is imperative that we meet these challenges of the future as an agricultural family not as individual commodity groups. We in agriculture truly have become our own “culture.” If we understand each other, we can better work together to educate the non-farming public about all that is important and good in agriculture.
