Come What May…

May, the month when temperatures begin to rise, school takes a break, and backyard grills fire up. Here in the south, we take this time to create memories, enjoy holiday celebrations, and seemingly begin to slow down for the long, hot creep of the summer months. But are we really slowing down?

As much as we romanticize our laid-back, easy way of life, we know this time of year could easily be considered your busiest. From backyard gardening to commercial farming, you are busy maintaining established plantings, defending them from the inevitable siege of both bug & weed, and preparing for the back & forth of drought to impending flash flood.

During these times, know we, your local Lee County Extension Office staff, are here and ready to help you. We offer a wealth of information and provide guidance when you have questions. Take advantage of our hands on service & experience, whether you drop by our lobby, or request a visit to your property. Our staff of agents are ready and available to answer your questions.

Are you needing information on a specific concern? We carry a variety of publications in-house, or we can access more using our extension website. You can take home resources to aid in diagnosing, treating, or maintaining your plot of land.

Are you having trouble diagnosing the problem? Contacting our office by phone, email, or visit, can connect you to an agent who can help pinpoint your issue and begin to find a solution. Either through pictures, video, or a site visit, agents get to the heart of the matter and work on getting you a better outcome. Our agents are always happy to help you in your endeavors, whether big or small.

Are you needing further assistance? For challenges that involve a more specific topic requiring a more intricate solution. Mississippi State University Extension Service has many research facilities & campus specialists. Our agents can facilitate connecting you with researchers & specialists involved in creating new & innovative solutions.

So come what may, we are here for you. Drop in and see us, friend!
