There will be an opportunity to help ranchers who lost property in last week's wildgrass fire that burned more than 1,100 acres southwest of Junction City. In the process there were some ranchers who lost large hay bales and fencing.
Geary County Extension Agent Kyler Langvardt noted that Monday evening at 6:30 there were will be a special calf auction at JC Livestock Sales where producers can make a donation to a fund for the victims. Kansas Livestock Marketing Association has also contributed $2,500 to the fund. Geary County K-State Research and Extension and Geary County Farm Bureau are supporting the effort.
As part of the evening Geary County Farm Bureau will host their annual ceremony and name their Farm Family of the Year.
