The team headed to DC for the NACD Fly-In last week. Averaging almost 20,000 steps a day, we met with or dropped off packets to our entire delegation, had an opportunity to connect with our assistant chief Walt Whitcomb, and saw some beeeeeaautiful cherry blossoms!

Catching up on a few things here … we had 80 people join us for Cover Crop Training Day East. The weather looked just dreadful headed into the week but it turned out to be not bad at all — just a little windy. Muskingum SWCD was a tremendous help in pulling this all together (big thank you). A lot of good information and networking was shared!
