January 2007 Meeting

Our next meeting will be back at the MCHS cafeteria on Monday, January 15th at 7 PM. Our sponsor will be Southland Power and Fence Supply. They will be bringing us information on a new mineral supplement they are marketing and remind us of all the other products and services they have to offer us. Of course, everyone knows Lee and Sadie. Southland started business selling only Gallagher electric fence supplies and Priefert cattle equipment. Appproximately 9 years ago, they started installing fence for the public. In 2005, Southland moved their facility south of the railroad in Colbert to a better location with added parking. Southland has about anything for your farm and ranch needs except chemicals and fertilizer. From fence to equipment, to feed and animal health, Southland will supply just about anything you need in today's Cattle Industry. Go by and see Lee or any of his staff located at 752 E. Fifth Avenue in Colbert or give them a call at 706-788-2498.
Ag Center

As most of you know, the property for the NEW AG CENTER has been purchased. The closing was on December 20th. Now it's on with the planning of the building. The PLANNING and DEVELOPMENT committee has been actively engaged in finding a design that we can work toward. FUNDS have been coming in at a steady pace, BUT don't forget that this is a BIG project and much more is needed. So help any way that you can!!
Membership
