Week of January 26- February 1

Here is what is going on in the agriculture industry this week…

We have one article from January 26, 2020 by The Daily Times. The title of this article is, “House-plants become active as days get longer.” This article talks about how your houseplants are quick to tell you when they need help. It explains what the plants look like when they are dying, and what you can do to help them. Some ways to help your plants is to: change their soil, change how often or how much you water them, or trim the plant stems. In conclusion, the purpose of this article is to inform readers on what they can do to keep their house-plants alive during winter.

Our second article is from January 31st, 2020. The article is from the money section of The Daily times, and the title of the article is,”Let the rigs roll at first Food Truck Festival.”

This article is more informational than anything. You might be thinking to yourself, how does a food truck have anything to do with agriculture? Well, Agriculture is a wide variety of things, including literally almost anything that has to do with food. Because if you think about it, where do you think the food is coming from that they are selling from these food trucks? Either a garden, animal, or a farmer, and all of those are the heart of agriculture!

So back to the article…

The article starts off by talking about how, “If the mountains will not come to the foodies, the food trucks will come to the mountains.” On March 27-28, Simply Greater Design and Events is hosting the inaugural Great Smoky Mountain Food Truck Festival at the Little Arrow Outdoor Resort. There will be nearly 40 food trucks in attendance. The festivals site will include a play-ground for children and games like corn-hole and horseshoes. The Smoky Mountain Tourism Development Authority and food truck caterers hope that the event will boost tourism in the area. Tickets to the festival are $5 and that ticket will include parking. The article ends by saying that you can find more information on their Facebook page @ GSM food truck festival.
