Property taxes can be lowered by keeping bees
Texas law allows bees and bee hives to qualify for reducing property taxes on plots ranging from 5 to 20 acres, similar to livestock or raising hay. Dennis Herbert drafted the original legislation for the current bee law that allows small acreage land owners to receive their agricultural valuation if they wish to raise bees on their property. 02/09/2022 01:50 PM
Pesticide training next week
Pesticide training next week
Spring is just around the corner and weeds will be emerging in your rangeland shortly, so it is time to take your Private Pesticide Applicator Training. For the first time in many years, there are new herbicide active ingredients registered for weed control in pasture and rangelands. Some of the most effective weed control products must be applied very early in spring to small weeds, and in some instances even before weed seeds germinate. Note that a Private Applicator License will be required to purchase and/or apply RESTRICTED USE (RU) herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides. 02/09/2022 01:50 PM
