Agronomists from Beck's Hybrids teach members of the Adair County FFA Crop Scouting Team about a newly-found disease in corn called Curvularia leaf spot. The team spent weeks over the summer preparing for the Kentucky State Crop Scouting Contest in Princeton, KY, and brought home a First Place finish for the second year in a row.

This photograph of the Joseph Turner house, taken in the 1980s, is representative of the homes that make up the history of Adair County settlement. The Joseph Turner house began as a cabin and was expanded upon--elongated and improved for generations by Turner descendants. This structure was perched on the banks of Burns Creek where it flows into Crocus Creek in southeastern Adair County, near the Cumberland County line. It was destroyed by fire not long after this photo was taken. Comments | Permalink Older Photos
