It may be hard to believe that the time is already here, but we’re coming up on the beginning of yet another brand new year. While the new year means a fresh start, it also means something that we’re used to — something that’s not quite as exciting as the other things awaiting us in 2020: tax prep.

You prepped hard, worked even harder, and it all led to yet another successful cotton harvest season. Congratulations! Now, the only thing left to do is allow yourself and your equipment some much-deserved recovery time.

This year, Hurst Farm Supply is proud to once again partner with John Deere and the National FFA Foundation to offer seven - $2,000 scholarships to one area student from each of the following counties: Borden, Crosby, Dickens, Hale, Lubbock, Lynn, and Scurry. Selections for this scholarship will be awarded by the National FFA Foundation based on the applicant's leadership abilities, academic accomplishments, FFA and other school and community activity participation, supervised agricultural work experience in agricultural education, and future goals.

Although we’re not quite finished with fall yet, it’s essential to be prepared for the reality of the really cold months ahead of us. When it comes to maintaining and putting your farming and landscaping equipment away for the winter, it’s imperative that you know how and why you should do so properly.

During harvest season, you and your operation are both at the mercy of time. So, why spend what little time you have making repairs when you can get ahead of them before even getting to work?

Fall is officially here, which means now is the time to start thinking about whether or not your fall lawn care arsenal is fully-equipped to take on the tasks in front of you. Weed eaters (more specifically, STIHL weed eaters) are a critical piece of that arsenal that should not be forgotten!

Farmers are no strangers to challenges! Year after year, threats to our hard work put us to the test. And the constant pressure to produce a crop in the face of inclement weather, drought, and other forces is what sets us apart from those that are not up to the challenge!
