Adair Co. students enjoy All In for Ag Education Week From Robin Hancock All In for Ag Education Week was a big success in Adair County! It started the week before with a presentation at the Adair County Board of Education monthly meeting, where Adair County FFA Officers Abby Maulden and Katie Kean explained to the board members and audience what agricultural education activities were offered to Adair County Students. In addition, ACMS students produced a video about Kentucky agriculture facts persuading teachers to use the materials provided by the Kentucky Department of Agriculture, Ag Education and Outreach to teach students about where their food comes from and how it gets to their plates. The video was shared with all Adair County teachers and published on Facebook. These past few weeks, middle school agriculture classes have been learning about how pumpkins are cucurbits, the pumpkin life cycle, and the 4 P's of marketing- product, price, place, and promotion!

A weekend to remember a pair of LWU Legends By Duane Bonifer They were known as everyone's best friend and the swimming program's dad. Working mostly behind the scenes, the late Brady Button and Scott Dillery both quietly influenced scores of Lindsey Wilson University students -- Button as a development officer, Dillery as a mathematics professor. But those were their day jobs. They spent their spare time heavily involved with the university's athletics program -- Button with basketball, Dillery with swimming. And over the weekend, their contributions to students were celebrated by the Lindsey Wilson community at events that now bear their names -- Button's at the fifth edition of a golf scramble started in his memory, Dillery's at a swim meet that was recently renamed in his memory.

Calling gardeners and book lovers By Veronica Arnold Hey community, the Adair county library is going to be the special location for the 4H Garden Club project. The 4H Youth and myself will work with the library at planting some fall bulbs to beautify the grounds for everyone in the community to enjoy. So whether you enjoy the outdoors or enjoy the quiet library, this project is one we can all work together for everyone on October 5, 2026. October 5th is the next 4H Garden Club and we will be meeting at the library to plant these bulbs! How you can help: If you have flowers which grow by bulbs--like tulips or daffodils--consider digging up a few, splitting them, and sharing them with your community. You can drop them off this week at the Adair County Extension Office, 409 Fairground Street, Columbia, KY. If you do not have any bulbs to share, consider grabbing just 1 package from a store this week, or ask a neighbor if they have any bulbs you could have. We truly wish to make this a community-based garden, by our community bringing a piece of their gardens to share! Thank you for your generosity and your support of our community, our public library and the 4H program. For questions about 4H you can contact the Adair County Extension Office. 2026-09-28 10:13:31 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Adair Co. Extension Service
