Crop Production Services recently donated 13 sacks of cool season forages to the Northeast Texas Community College Ag Department for use by the Agronomy class. †Representatives Wayne Marshall and Jay Madison presented the gift during a recent class. They are pictured above with NTCC Agronomy students; faculty members Chad Henry and Joe Whinery; and Titus County Extension Agent Kenny Rollins, who assisted with setting up test plots for the cool season forages. The class is using the seeds to study different planting techniques on the NTCC instructional farm. These include no-till drill, broadcast on prepared seed bed, and broadcast on unprepared seed bed. They hope to determine which variety performs best in East Texas. For more information about NTCC Agriculture, visit www.ntcc.edu/ag.
