Furthermore, rising fuel and fertilizer costs have made it difficult to produce hay in a cost-effective manner. To help hay producers get the most out of their land, time, and hay equipment, agricultural specialists with University of Missouri Extension will conduct a hay production workshop on February 26th in Higginsville. The workshop will focus on topics such as the economics of hay production, forage options, hay testing and quality issues, fertility management, and nutritional needs of grazing animals.

Life is full of choices...and those choices affect the body, mind and spirit. The Taking Care of YOU program is designed to help you deal with life's stress, make wise choices and explore ways to live a healthier life.
During this 8-week program you will learn practical strategies to help you deal with the stress in your life. Managing life's challenges in healthy ways allows you to take better care of yourself and your overall health. Each week you will explore topics through small group discussion, self-reflection and activities. You will learn ways to:
- Become more aware of the mind-body connection and how to use this awareness for better health.
- Develop habits that can lead to a healthier you.
- Respond rather than react to the stress in your life.
- Discover opportunities in life's challenges.
- Find ways to bring more joy into your life.
- Simplify your life.
