She points out which crops are which, quickly distinguishing a reddish, flowering leaf — beet, not radish — and pulls onions that have bolted and can’t be taken to market.

I was born to be a falconer,” Hill said. He’s found purpose in educating others about the art of falconry and the importance of protecting the birds. “I can take this information and share it with you people so you guys can have a better understanding of what we do with these animals and how much they mean to us as falconers,” Hill said. “But not only that, how much they mean to Mother Nature alone.”Wed, 02 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0100https://www.theoglethorpeecho.com/local-news/arnoldsville-falconer-aims-protect-raptorshttps://media.journoportfolio.com/users/468489/images/8c4c98e6-a512-4a17-9ab7-34ee5c9d3b92.jpegBehind the scenes of a story: measuring how many hands this horse was!Sun, 09 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0000https://media.journoportfolio.com/users/468489/images/8c4c98e6-a512-4a17-9ab7-34ee5c9d3b92.jpeghttps://www.theoglethorpeecho.com/local-news/dont-fumble-chicken-cost-eggs-forces-4-h-poultry-team-use-football-not-fowlInstead, Marcus Eason, the county’s 4-H agent, cradled a deflated football under his left arm — where a white leghorn hen would usually be. Eason lightly pressed into the featherless football, demonstrating to the three students where, on a live hen, they would need to assess factors like abdominal capacity as they prepared for the upcoming Georgia 4-H Area Poultry Judging Contest on April 24. “I’m still having a hard time finding birds to keep here or just borrow for an extended amount of time because egg prices are up,” Eason said. “And I can definitely understand why people don’t want to spare a couple of chickens because that’s some dollars.” In a typical season, the 4-H program would receive hens and eggs from the district development coordinator.

Yes, painting pigs. For Poulnott, using paint to enhance her pigs’ natural black and white markings for competition is only a fraction of what it takes to succeed as an award-winning showman in regional and national livestock shows.

In fact, it wasn’t long ago that Rushing was in the shoes of many of the women in her English class today. Perhaps all too well, she knows the struggles of navigating a world in which English isn’t your first language. The frustration of constant miscommunications, the sting of being misunderstood, and the courage it takes to keep learning. Rushing, 45, a petite woman with jet black hair that falls to her shoulders dresses in dark slacks and brighter blouses, but nothing extravagant, perhaps a lingering tendency from her childhood in Peru, where she grew up in a loving home no larger than the Pinewood Library’s computer room.Tue, 14 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0000https://gradynewsource.uga.edu/the-unlikely-librarian-director-makes-library-a-safe-space-for-pinewoods-community/https://media.journoportfolio.com/users/468489/images/b88c87a8-48c3-4cab-a3fa-379b0c33bec9.jpegGo Dawgs Of Course!Sat, 07 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000https://media.journoportfolio.com/users/468489/images/b88c87a8-48c3-4cab-a3fa-379b0c33bec9.jpeghttps://www.theoglethorpeecho.com/local-news/freedom-forage-friends-local-rescue-event-equips-people-take-action-when-horses-are“Your attention to shelter, safety, food and water and all of those kinds of things, really is care, it’s what we expect,” Husted said. “The excessive standard is welfare, which is freedom, forage, friends — the social and foraging needs.” These three principles were the foundation of Sunday’s Identifying Equine Abuse seminar, where the seven participants gained hands-on experience evaluating the rescue horses at ReDux. They practiced using a weight tape, examining markings and physical signs, and assessing weight gain by examining different areas of a recovering horse.Fri, 15 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0000https://www.theoglethorpeecho.com/local-news/freedom-forage-friends-local-rescue-event-equips-people-take-action-when-horses-are
