While we look forward to the warmer temps it can have a negative effect on livestock.

Punxsutawney Phil did not see his shadow on Groundhogs Day meaning an early spring is on the way, and for the first time in 2020 Monday we saw temperatures rise above 60 in Fulton County. Mark Kepler with the Purdue Extension Office says while we look forward to the warmer temperatures for the live stock it can mean bad news.

While these temperatures may not be ideal for live stock it is prime weather for maple syrup harvesters in Fulton County.
