🌽 Northampton County Cooperative Extension recently completed a field corn variety trial evaluating 19 mid- to late-maturity hybrids. We appreciate the partnership and support of Atkinson Farm in hosting this important trial.
The top-yielding variety produced an impressive 207.9 bushels per acre. Full trial results will be shared with producers in the near future to help inform hybrid selection decisions for upcoming growing seasons.

🌿 Perk Up & Learn! ☕ Controlling Invasive Plant Control

English Ivy, Japanese honeysuckle taking over your trees or land? We can help!

What’s growing in your yard might be doing more harm than you realize! 🌱 Join Northampton County Virginia Cooperative Extension and our local conservation partners for a hands-on Coffee Hour focused on identifying and managing invasive plants here on the Eastern Shore.

We’ll talk about common invasive plants, why they threaten our native ecosystems, and practical ways to control them. Then we’ll head outdoors for demonstrations of manual removal techniques and safe, effective herbicide application methods you can use on your own property.

Calling out all landowners, homeowners, gardeners, nature enthusiasts, or simply those curious about the plants around you. This is a great opportunity to learn something new and take home practical, research-based knowledge!

📅 Friday, October 23
⏰ 9:00–10:00 a.m.
📍 7247 Young Street, Machipongo, VA

🌿 Featuring Helene Doughty, ANR Extension Agent with Virginia Cooperative Extension, and Ben Young, former Conservation Specialist with the Eastern Shore Soil and Water Conservation District.

FREE and open to the public — no registration required! Bring your questions and your curiosity. We look forward to learning with you!

Our Eastern Shore landscapes always have something new to notice, no matter the season.

With our fields, marshes, and waterways, there’s so much happening around us that we may not even notice, until the right timing. Our marshes help protect our shorelines, filter water, and provide habitat for all kinds of wildlife. With approximately 1,300 miles of tidal shoreline in Virginia, these natural areas are an important part of what makes our coastal communities so special.

This time of year, you will find pops of color that appear in our landscapes with fall flowering plants. Take a look at this photo! The bright pink caught my eye. Can you guess what is is?

Leave your guess in the comments! No searching allowed just yet. 😉
