Bixby Releases Back-To-School Plans With Staggered Start
Many Oklahoma school districts are gearing up for the first day of school, which is just a few weeks away.
Bixby Public Schools just released its plans for a staggered start to the beginning of the school year but said plans could change.
Bixby said although it is monitoring cases closely, the staggered start is not because of COVID-19. Staff said they re doing this to help parents and students get adjusted to the new year. It s going to bring back the whole sense of community in our school and being able to invite our families back in our classrooms again will be wonderful, said Bixby North First Grade Teacher, Stephanie Parker.
Many Oklahoma ranchers have been reaping the benefits of feed cost and overall animal wellbeing by having cover crops available as forage resources heading into winter. However, cover crops are not going to be a viable option for every livestock operator.
“There are a lot of factors that go into using cover crops as a grazing resource in a cost-effective manner,” said Brad Bain, McCurtain County Extension director and agricultural educator. “What works best in one region of the state may not work best in another area. Also, a ranch will have specific operational needs, ranging from soil health and moisture in a pasture to investments in herbicide treatments, planting systems to be used and a host of other considerations.”
