Carroll County Christmas Baskets
Ag Association Needs Your Help for Community Christmas Baskets
The Carroll County Ag Association is seeking donations and volunteers to help provide meat for community Christmas baskets and to help put baskets together for distribution to local families in need.
We are looking for at least 20 hogs to be donated for processing at the Burlington Locker Plant. Pickup and delivery may be available, if needed. We are also accepting donations to help buy any extra needed meat. Please coordinate your donations with Sam Moffitt so that the Burlington Locker Plant can process the meat in manageable lots.
We also need help with preparing and distributing the Christmas Baskets:
- Toy Store December 12
- Sort boxes Dec 16-17
- Fill boxes Dec 18-7pm
- Pick up of boxes Dec 20
Please contact Joanne Lytton, at the Carroll County Extension Office, if you can assist with Christmas Baskets.

Best Wishes, Paul Marcellino
Carroll County Extension Educator Paul Marcellino will be Howard County Extension Educator, effective November 1. We thank him for his tireless and able service to Carroll County, and wish him the best in Howard County.
Paul has a few words to leave with us in Carroll County:
I just want to thank the people of Carroll County for all the help they give to the extension program and we hope that we have given Carroll County excellent programming to meet the needs of the community. I hope the CCAA will continue to develop and continue to be a progressive organization to meet the challenges that continue to face agriculture. I urge the community to solicit the governing bodies to provide the necessary funding for extension programming. We feel that we are in the prevention business for youth and provide researched based and unbiased information to the local level at a very reasonable cost.
Until the position in Carroll County is filled feel free to contact me in Howard County. My email will stay the same at pmarcellino@purdue.edu.
I wish the best of luck to all of the CCAA in your endeavors and you will still have to put up with me since I am staying Carroll County.
If any of you are needing PARP credits I am holding a program in Howard Co. on December 19th with registration starting at 8:30 a.m. and meeting adjourning 12 noon. It will be at the Howard Co. Extension Office.
Paul Marcellino, Extension Educator

Fall Farm Safety Tip
Consider test harvesting corn rows at the end of the fields, particularly at road corners to improve visibility for motorists at the time of year when there is increased truck and tractor traffic.
