WADESBORO During a recent farm field trip to Thy Will Be Done LLC., participants of the Anson Youth Leaders Academy (AYLA) joined NC Cooperative Extension on a small farms visit.
Owners, Rodrequis Lisenby and Whitney Downer, led the group on a walking tour of their Wadesboro farm in which participants learned about broiler chicken breeds, the egg laying operation, garden, and managing a backyard farrow-to-finish hog lot. Participants learned about resources for small-scale agricultural production and how their farm start-up experience tied in with building personal leadership skills, philanthropic responsibility, and entrepreneurship.
WADESBORO Despite having to adjust in a pandemic world, the Anson County Cooperative Extension Staff accomplished reaching out to the community and growing their viewership.
Twice a year the Anson County Extension presents two reports. One is in a newsletter form and the other is a presentation to the Board of Commissioners. The most recent report was brought in front of the Commissioners during their monthly meeting on Nov. 10.
Instead of having the staff come up and present each of their respected programs, the Board saw a COVID-friendly Power Point Presentation, highlighting the impacts and methods from the NC Extension.
