Summary
Evans, an extension agent, summarized 4‑H/FFA participation (including a top‑10 finish in livestock judging), validation of animals for the state fair for multiple youth, a one‑day youth wildlife camp with 23 attendees, cotton variety trials and upcoming beef/forage CEU events.
Evans, identified in the record by name, reported extension and agricultural activity across the county.
He said two students attended a recent state roundup and participated in six contests, noting one student, Carter Sherwick, placed ninth in livestock judging. In June the extension validated goats and steers for the state fair for several youth across the county. Evans also described a one‑day youth wildlife and natural resources camp that 23 youths attended and said several beef and forage conferences offering continuing education units are scheduled, including a conference the next day at a Church of Christ and another multi‑county event in Nolan.
Evans also noted cotton variety trials are underway and he will attend the Texas County Agricultural Agents Association meeting later in July. He invited questions at the conclusion of his report.
