The Hobart Homemakers FCE ladies met on January 27, 2025, at 7 p.m. at the Stockton Church of the Restoration. We opened our meeting with Kelly reading the FCE mission, and then we all recited the flag salute. Roll call was, 'Do you have an air fryer, and what is your favorite food to make in it?' Ten members answered the question. The minutes and treasurer's report were read and approved. We made a good profit from our greenery sales, which is great as we use that money for scholarships.

The City of Stockton approved the following building permits during 2024: Joshua Blasi (415 North Second) pallet fence; John Walker moving permit; Heartland Building Center (918 South Cedar) signage; Susan Bunch (420 North Ash) deck and awning;

Choosing the Right Hay Feeder to Reduce Waste and Cut Cost Reducing hay waste is one of the simplest ways to improve the efficiency and profitability of cattle operations. Every operation is different, but the type of hay feeder you choose can significantly impact how much forage is wasted during feeding. Some feeders are designed to hold hay securely and keep it clean, while others allow for more spillage and contamination. By understanding how feeder design influences hay loss, you can make the best choice for your operation and see the benefits in your bottom line.
