THINGS TO KNOW ...

Pressure Canner Gauge Testing
It’s canning season! The Cooperative Extension service offers “free” dial gauge testing on most canners to ensure that your gauge is calibrated correctly in order to yield a desirable product once processed according to a tested recipe. Please give our FCS agent Sonya Patterson a call to schedule an appointment at 336-694-4158 EXT 4. You will only need to bring in the lid with the gauge attached and not the pot.

Voluntary Ag District (VAD)

There are funds available to provide updated signs for current VAD participants who may be interested in replacing them. For more information call 336-694-9731
