Lovely week in the Fristoe area.  Mary Scarbrough sends thank you's to her family and church family of Fristoe Pentecostal Lighthouse Church for the wonderful afternoon she was given last Sunday for her 95th birthday.  She said she saw and visited people she had not seen or heard from in years.

Winter Feed Costs For Beef Cows

Published by admin on Wed, 09/21/2022 - 1:55pm
 
Escalating costs for hay and supplements has many cattle producers concerned, especially in the face of very poor pasture conditions and limited hay supplies in some areas of the state.  I thought it was an opportune time to run current feed costs through the Beef Cow Feed Cost Dashboard spreadsheet and get an estimate of daily feed costs for a beef cow.

A Nichols Worth Of Nature

Published by admin on Wed, 09/14/2022 - 2:48pm
 
I enjoy plants. Here are a few yellow flowering plants that are now in bloom and commonly seen along roadways and in fields. 
 
Black-eyed Susan grow 1’-3’ tall, with alternate 1” wide leaves up to 5” long. There is a single flower with 10-20 rays surrounding a dark brown to purple brown dome shaped disk at the top of each stem. The Potawatomi Indians prepared a root tea for curing colds. Early settlers used the plant as a stimulant and a diuretic. A yellow dye is made from this plant.
