REMINDER: Tonight at 5:30, UT-TSU Scott County Extension will be hosting an informational meeting about the TAEP Program along with Michael Cross from the TDA. The Tennessee Agricultural Enhancement Program was established in 2005 to provide cost share dollars to agricultural producers for the purpose of making long-term investments in Tennessee farms and communities. Participation allows producers to maximize farm profits, adapt to changing market situations, improve operation safety, increase farm efficiency, and make a positive economic impact in their communities. The application period for this goes from Oct. 1st - Oct 7th.

If interested in this program, or if you're already planning on applying for this program and have questions about the process, we'll be meeting at 5:30 pm on the 28th at the Scott County Office Building (2845 Baker Hwy, Huntsville) to go over the program and answer any questions.

If you could also fill out this form so I could get a bit of a head count, that would be great: https://docs.google.com/.../1FAIpQLSecpEigkCf.../viewform...
Thank you!

Did you know? 94 billion pounds of food go to waste each year, while 48 million Americans face food insecurity. ♻🧡

In today’s message, we want to highlight our Food Rescue program, which aims to help change that statistic. Through Food Rescue, your food bank partners with manufacturers, grocery stores, and restaurants to secure food items and donated goods that would otherwise go to waste.

Our team works behind the scenes to secure these products and deliver them directly to our partner agencies, helping ensure they end up on a neighbor’s table. In fact, Food Rescue often provides neighbors with many items they otherwise wouldn't have access to!

You can help reduce food waste and fight hunger today! To learn how you can help, visit SecondHarvestETN.org/HAM.

The Fall Open Enrollment Period (October 15 to December 7) is less than a month away, and the best way to avoid feeling rushed is to start preparing now.

Before OEP begins:
✔️ Review your current Medicare coverage
✔️ Make a list of your prescriptions and preferred pharmacies
✔️ Watch for your Annual Notice of Change (ANOC) in September
✔️ Schedule a pre-OEP appointment with your local SHIP if you'd like personalized assistance

Many beneficiaries don't realize that plan costs, drug coverage, and benefits can change from year to year. Taking a few minutes to prepare now can make it much easier to compare plans when Medicare Plan Finder updates for the new plan year.

📣 Help a friend or family member avoid the last-minute rush. SHARE this post and save this enrollment period infographic for later!
