The Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Office – Bosque County will be collecting hay samples for the 45th 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 Thursday, September 14, 2023. Sampling will close on September 14, but you may also drop samples off early at the Extension Office or to your local Bosque County FFA Advisors. Samples will be taken from the conventional bales and/or round bales on the 14th so that the protein analysis can be made. Cost is $10 for first bale, $5 for each additional bale per participant.
