My name is Ashley Sherrets and I am the Ag/ Hort Program Coordinator for the Buchanan County ISU Extension Office. The 2012 Crop Tour was brought to our attention recently and my Extension Administrator and I were wondering if it would be beneficial for one of us to attend. We are unaware about what this day consists of, what the agenda is, and if there is a cost. Could you please send more information about the Crop Tour to my email address? I appreciate your help.

Ashley,
We'd love to have you attend! The day will consist of a Crop Tour/ Yield Check throughout Buchanan County starting at 8 AM from the Henderson Event Center. This will continue all day with a minimum of 4 groups covering the area.
At 5 PM the evening of August 24th, a social hour will begin, followed by a meal, presentation of the day's findings, round-table discussion from participants and entertainment by country music singer- Scott Shelby.
Our sponsors will have tables set up throughout the event center showcasing their businesses. We could reserve you a table if there is a event or workshop your would like to promote. Cost is Free for extension.
The day is designed to be a fun event for farmers and agribusiness folks to gather, network, and learn a little bit about our crop. Check out more at

Give me a call if you would like to discuss further or set up a display table.
Thanks,
Pete
