The Butler County Extension Service/Butler County Farm Bureau Field Day will be Thursday, September 3, 2015 at the Heritage Farm in the Sharer community of Butler County.  The farm is on Hwy 1083 in southern Butler County.  Registration will begin at 3:30 p.m., with the program starting at 4:00 p.m. 

This year’s Butler County Field Day will focus on forage production with alfalfa being the main topic.  There will also be a demonstration on soybean population and its effect on yield in Butler County.  There will be a craft project led by Tracy Cowles for those not taking the ag. tour.  Healthy eating has been an important part of recent field day events and this one is no different.  Michelle Moore, our Extension nutrition educator will be on hand to provide samples and recipes of healthy foods people can feed their family.   There will be delicious meal provided at the end of the field day, so make plans now to attend this year’s event.
