Today we spent the day at the farm getting ready for "Papa's party at the pond with all his friends." This is how we explained it to the kids. Actually Universisty of Tennessee put on this workshop. My Dad agreed to allow the field day at the farm on the stocked pond! Topics discussed were managing leaking ponds, aquatic weed management, fertilization, fish sampling, keeping a pond balanced, and stocking rates. The highlight of the kids days was when the wildlife resource team took out their boat and "stunned" the fish, then caught them with nets to bring to the shore to inspect! The turn out was outstanding with around 150 people present.
