World events have increased the costs of chemical fertilizers significantly. Now is the time to begin securing a source of poultry litter for fertilizer later this growing season. Poultry litter is the combination of poultry manure and wood shavings used for bedding in commercial poultry houses. It is an excellent fertilizer and is much less expensive than equivalent quantities of chemical fertilizer nutrients. Some areas of the Virginia with high concentrations of poultry production have more litter than their farm fields can effectively utilize. Virginia’s poultry litter transport incentive program is designed to facilitate the efficient use of poultry litter as a crop nutrient source in areas that can most benefit from those nutrients and that are outside of the main poultry-producing counties.

A Lexington firefighter salutes as emergency vehicles from throughout Rockbridge and neighboring counties pass under a large American flag hoisted by ladder trucks from Lexington and Buena Vista in Goshen Monday afternoon. The emergency vehicle memorial parade paid tribute to the life of Devin Riley, 18, of Goshen, who had died in a single-vehicle accident on May 7, just weeks away from his graduation from Rockbridge County High School. Devin was a member of the Goshen Volunteer Fire Department, which asked local emergency responders to participate in the parade to escort his body from the Craigsville Funeral Home to Goshen for the funeral Monday. The funeral had been moved from Goshen Baptist Church to the town fairgrounds to accommodate the crowd, and was attended by many students and faculty from RCHS, which was closed for the day.
