Bowie County SWCD is a non-profit agency and without the support from our local community we would not be able to offer events such as this and other’s we put on throughout the year. We want to thank all who came out and participated in the Expo and a special thank you to all producers who entered a hay sample in the contest. A big thank you to all who worked to make this a great Expo.
