It's been one of those weeks around the ACA. You know, the ones where you feel really busy and backed up with projects while nothing major is actually happening. The office is quiet this week as the staffers are at their desks gearing up for big projects ahead. For example, Dr. Powell and Martha Davis are planning the upcoming Executive Committee Meeting. Erin is planning upcoming beef promotions, while Kayla gets on building the new BamaBeef.org. Nicky is working on the largest magazine issue of the year, and Jessica is keeping things moooving smooth in The MOOseum. Cynthia is wearing many hats while she keeps membership up to date and keeps the bills paid around the office, and Madison is busy pulling together the 10th annual AJCA Round-Up! Keep reading to see what she and the rest of us are up to this week around the ACA...

Mark your calendars NOW to head to Garrett Coliseum March 16-18, 2017 for the Southeastern Livestock Exposition Rodeo.
A Day on the Green
Dr. Billy Powell and Pike County cattleman Ed Whatley will spend the day out of the office Thursday and in the good, ole Alabama heat! It's for a good cause, though, as they will be participating in the 4-H Foundation Golf Tournament as the representatives for the ACA. Send them good thoughts tomorrow for accurate aim and long, straight drives.
The MOOseum
The MOOseum is buzzing with activity from summer camps and day cares! We've got groups coming by to learn and play daily!
Learn about beef cattle, sit on saddles, play in Cowboy Slim's kitchen and dress up like a rough-and-tumble cowboy for the afternoon.
Book a tour for groups or just walk on in for individual families. We are located at 201 S. Bainbridge Street Montgomery, AL 36104. Got questions? Call 265-1867 or email Jessica.
Speaking of The MOOseum, big plans are in the works for renovation, and we mean it! Dr. Billy Powell, Erin Beasley and Kayla Greer spent the entire day Tuesday making renovation plans and edits. Get ready for the same, great children's center with a fresh face!
Army Worm Watch
Contributed by Dr. Kathy Flanders
Shane Middleton in Mobile
County (dairy farm) reported late last week on an outbreak of army worms in
some millet. He indicated that they have populations that warranted spraying. He also indicated that a neighbor had them as well.
The Middleton farm is located in the far
western edge of Mobile county and just across the line into Mississippi.
If you experience issues with army worms, contact your local Extension office to report.
