Immediate items-

-- I have some of the leftover trees potted at my place now. There were also many leftover Royal and Christmas ferns to select from. There are also some Casa Blanca and Monte Negro asiatic Lily left.

 --The newest Conservation Times is just being mailed. An electronic version can be selected by selecting that option from the "contents" list to the left.

--Congratulations go out to Ron Desrosiers for being selected as the new Program Coordinator for Time & Tide.  Ron is currently the District Conservationist for NRCS and works next door in the building here...many of you probably already know him or have seen him around.  Ron will be starting after May 25th.  Ron brings with him a wealth of knowledge concerning conservation practices, energy audits, and a whole host of various NRCS and gov’t programs that are available to help ag producers.
