The Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service in Hopkins County have developed a series of educational programs to assist new landowners with the concept of agriculture production and rural living. 

The New Landowner Seminar Series is designed with you in mind, providing opportunities to hear from leading experts and successful producers in the field of agriculture on what it takes to start, manage, and maintain your own agricultural enterprise and effectively manage your natural resources. 

You will hear from AgriLife Extension Specialists, County Extension Agents, and others on concepts related to Soil Management, Pond Management, Honey Bees, Gardening and livestock and much more. 

Networking is another great opportunity provided through this program series; bringing landowners from the four-county-area together to talk about plans, successes, and challenges in an effort to help one another.

All sessions are scheduled 11:00 to 12:00 (noon) at the Hopkins County Extension Office located at 1200B Houston Street in Sulphur Springs. Cost for the series $20. Single Sessions: $10.
