Sessions cover are: financial management, keeping records, computer software, estate planning, crop and livestock marketing, farm business planning and a business plans.

Despite cold and somewhat blustery conditions, the Carson Firemen held their Annual Sweetheart Supper and Dance on Saturday, February 9, 2008. At one time, Danny Clark, Carson Fire Chief, had a count of 178 people served between 6 pm to 8 pm. The firemen served prime rib, baked potatoes and numerous salads and desserts. Also throughout the evening, door prizes were given away. The entertaiment for the evening’s dancing was provided by Double Shot. This local band out of Selfridge provided great music throughout the evening. A great time was had by all.
Thank you to the Volunteer Fire Departments for always being there throughout the year, to protect our community.
