With the growth of the 4-H program as well as a large Ag
program, the Henry County extension office needed to grow. The addition of an
extra room to the back of the building, as well as expanding the conference
room and kitchen, will allow for a greater capacity in the office. Construction
started a few weeks ago, but it really kicked into gear this week. The
conference room, kitchen, and meeting room have been walled off on the backside
while the crew tears down the wall and builds outward. The office has been
pretty loud since then. Also, some unplanned demolition happened, when our
roadside sign got hit by a car. The construction is planned to be finished in
mid-October, which is after my internship ends, but fortunately I’ll still be
around the county to see it.
A problem arose when the hams in the ham house behind our
office started showing discolored spots and callous like textures on them. The
ham project was something that I was involved with when I was a 4-Her, so I
have some knowledge in the matter. After looking over everything I could;
probing the meat, checking for bugs, making sure the fans were working
properly; I decided that it was outside of my knowledge. Hopefully I’ll learn
what is going on with these hams when a specialist comes and checks them out
next week. Oh, and today, I got bit by a pig; twice.
