The Spring meeting of the Kentucky Nut Growers Association planned for late April 2020 in Grayson Co., KY, has been cancelled due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Please be on the lookout in the Fall newsletter for information on the Fall KNGA meeting in October 2020. The location and date of the fall meeting are to be determined. For more information, contact Ken LaVere, KNGA President, 270-369-8764. We hope you are staying safe and healthy at home during this time. This is a good time to spend time outdoors in your garden and orchard enjoying nature.
