Josh Elmore, Regional Extension Agent &#8211; Animal Sciences &amp; Forages, presented our program on the history and habits of fire ants and ways of controlling them. He even had a hands-on display of them for us to look at up close! Thanks, Josh, for the education in fire ants! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have 4 interns who have earned  their certification and badges recently.  They are Karen Mims, John Higginbotham, Sarah Justiss and Clem Clapp. Clem wasn&#8217;t present today to receive his certificate and badge, he and Diane are one a tour of Nova Scotia, lucky them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>President Susan Cleckler talked about the upcoming 2019 Showcase in Ag\/4-H Chick Chain Show and Auction at Chilton Research and Extension Center. Many of our members are signed up to help and many are also bringing plants for the Plant Sale we are having at the event. It promises to be a fun event, similar to our past Farm, Home, and Wildlife Expo started by Jim Pitts many years ago. We are looking forward to it, even though the weather is going to be HOT! We are tough!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img width=\"1920\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/08\/8F26CA35-5447-4F34-880D-19CDDC7008BF.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18564\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/08\/8F26CA35-5447-4F34-880D-19CDDC7008BF.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/08\/8F26CA35-5447-4F34-880D-19CDDC7008BF-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/08\/8F26CA35-5447-4F34-880D-19CDDC7008BF-275x275.jpeg 275w, https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/08\/8F26CA35-5447-4F34-880D-19CDDC7008BF-350x350.jpeg 350w, https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/08\/8F26CA35-5447-4F34-880D-19CDDC7008BF-250x250.jpeg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img width=\"1920\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/08\/84851502-9B46-4590-8D6A-090E4E327962.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18565\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/08\/84851502-9B46-4590-8D6A-090E4E327962.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/08\/84851502-9B46-4590-8D6A-090E4E327962-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/08\/84851502-9B46-4590-8D6A-090E4E327962-275x275.jpeg 275w, https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/08\/84851502-9B46-4590-8D6A-090E4E327962-350x350.jpeg 350w, https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/08\/84851502-9B46-4590-8D6A-090E4E327962-250x250.jpeg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img width=\"1920\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/08\/F595CC70-F706-43C4-945F-C2138E2EFE18.jpeg\" alt=\"Interns receive certificates \" class=\"wp-image-18585\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/08\/F595CC70-F706-43C4-945F-C2138E2EFE18.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/08\/F595CC70-F706-43C4-945F-C2138E2EFE18-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/08\/F595CC70-F706-43C4-945F-C2138E2EFE18-275x275.jpeg 275w, https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/08\/F595CC70-F706-43C4-945F-C2138E2EFE18-350x350.jpeg 350w, https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/08\/F595CC70-F706-43C4-945F-C2138E2EFE18-250x250.jpeg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img width=\"1920\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/08\/3ED63A0E-B434-4D4A-A16F-330767E6CEA5.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18567\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/08\/3ED63A0E-B434-4D4A-A16F-330767E6CEA5.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/08\/3ED63A0E-B434-4D4A-A16F-330767E6CEA5-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/08\/3ED63A0E-B434-4D4A-A16F-330767E6CEA5-275x275.jpeg 275w, https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/08\/3ED63A0E-B434-4D4A-A16F-330767E6CEA5-350x350.jpeg 350w, https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/08\/3ED63A0E-B434-4D4A-A16F-330767E6CEA5-250x250.jpeg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our August meeting was most informative, and I must say, much more interesting than I imagined!
