History

The Agricultural Districts Law (ADL) was created in 1971 to encourage the continued use of farmland for agricultural production. The Program is based on a combination of landowner incentives and protections, all of which are designed to forestall the conversion of farmland to non-agricultural uses.

As a way to engage our 4-H families with our community, we are excited to offer Open Sew Nights. Join us for an evening filled with “sew” much fun while you “hem and mend” with friends! Four different workshops will be offered from February to May. Two will focus on sewing machine maintenance and proper seam finishing while others will allow you to get inspired to tap into your creative side!
