The Lafayette County Soil and Water Conservation District would like to invite 4th grade students in Lafayette County to participate in their annual Conservation poster contest. The theme for this year’s contest is “Soil. Where It All Begins.” Soil grows our food, filters our water, supports wildlife habitats, and provides the foundation for our communities. Without soil, there would be no farms, forests, or places for humans and animals to thrive. Soil is such an important part of our ecosystem!

If you have always wanted to sell produce and other goods at the local farmers market, but you didn’t know where to begin, University of Missouri Extension can help, says MU Extension horticulture specialist Matthew Huchteman.

The staff at Shepherd’s Food Pantry would like to give an update on the 2025 outreach.

Hazel Hill Community Club met on Thursday, Jan. 8 at Thomas Hall at 1 p.m. Cathy Rogge and Lois Graf were the hostesses. Other members present were: Audrey Campbell, Anna Mae Closterman, Mary Ellen Kitchen, Pat Maycock, Shirley Maycock, Diane Schmidt, Lois Schmidt and Lolly Schmidt.
