Workshop Teaches Local Farmers

Matagorda County farmers and landowners can join the Lone Star Healthy Streams workshop on Friday at Bay City Service Center.

Hosted by the Matagorda Soil and Water Conservation District with Texas A&M AgriLife support, the workshop aims to reduce bacteria in Caney Creek, Linnville Bayou, and Matagorda Bay. Registration is $30 and includes lunch. Pesticide applicators can earn credits.
