Local cattle and hay producers are invited to attend the DeSoto Parish Cattlemen’s Association Quarterly Meeting, set for Tuesday, September 9, 2025, at 6:00 PM at the DeSoto Parish Extension Office in Grand Cane.

Dr. Jose Neto of the LSU AgCenter will present on Cool Season Forages—a timely discussion for producers preparing for fall and winter grazing.

Marshall John from the Louisiana Land Bank will speak on lending opportunities for beef cattle and hay producers, providing insights on financial resources available to support local agriculture.

Joshua Salley, DeSoto Extension Agent, will provide an important update on the New World Screwworm, a pest of concern to livestock producers across the region.

A complimentary meal will be sponsored by Louisiana Land Bank, and attendees are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity to connect with fellow producers, gather practical knowledge, and stay up to date on current issues in the industry.
