The Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Office – Bosque County will be collecting hay samples for the 44th Annual Bosque County Hay Show & Scholarship Fundraiser. If you are interested in submitting hay samples into this year’s contest, entries may be dropped off at the Bosque County Extension Office (located at 104 S Fuller in Meridian) between 8:30AM and 11AM on Friday, September 9, 2022. Sampling will close on September 9, but you may also drop samples off early at the Extension Office or by 3pm on Thursday, September 8 to your local Bosque County FFA Advisors.
Samples will be taken from the conventional bales and/or round bales on the 9th so that the protein analysis can be made. Cost is $10 for first bale, $5 for each additional bale per participant. A new class has been added this year to the contest: Purchased out of County.
This year’s Scholarship Auction and Educational Program will be held on Monday, October 17, 2022, at the Meridian Civic Center starting at 5:30PM. The Hay Show Committee is also collecting donations for their annual Bosque County Hay Show and Scholarship fundraiser.
