Farmland owners with cropland have the opportunity to update their FSA yields and reallocate their base acres under the current farm bill.  Landowners have until late February 2015 to make changes and they can get assistance making these decisions at the extension office if they want help.  Appointments, in two hour blocks, are available to interested landowners by calling the Butler County Extension Office.  Landowners need to know their current FSA base acres and cc yields, and their actual planted acres and yields from 2008 through 2014 to make the most informed decision for their farm.

Smiles were all around and the Christmas spirit was in the air on Saturday, December 6, for the 2nd annual Santa's Lil Angels Beauty Pageant sponsored by the Butler County Foster Care Association.  The event was held at Butler County High School  and featured "Christmas Attire Only."  

A total of 88 young anglers took part in the 16th Annual Butler County Longbeard's Jakes Day event last weekend on the Haynes Family property in the Leonard Oak community of  Butler County.

A diverse group of critters and creatures, ghouls and goblins made their way to the Beech Tree News/WLBQ office on Halloween night as trick-or-treaters.  They were greeted by the Beech Tree Bear and plenty of candy.  

"We love Halloween and look forward to seeing all the kids drop by our office to trick-or-treat," said Diane Dyer, BtN president.  "It's a good event for our community and we're happy to be a part of it."  

Above are a few of the photos from Halloween night.  More will be posted over the coming days.
