Milam Farm Bureau Schedules Meetings On Farm Income
Milam County leaders urge farmers to use fertilizer more to combat low prices and rising costs.

Meetings across the county will discuss corn production irrigation and farm bureau services, led by local agents and coordinators, with dates from March 4 to March 10 at multiple venues.
