For the second year, the Pepsi Junior Golf Tour made a stop at Lincoln Homestead State Park Golf Course.

The tour takes place from March until October, with 27 events, including an invite-only championship, along the way. Also part of the summer golf circuit are the Mountain Dew Junior Series and the Aquafina Junior Series.
The event at Lincoln Homestead was the second event on the Pepsi Junior Golf Tour this season.

All of Idle Hour Park lights up when Darrol Byrd comes to the plate.

Byrd isn’t a big-time slugger or a hot college prospect. He plays tee ball.
So what’s all the fuss about?
First of all, he’s seven years old.
Secondly, there’s Lesch-Nyhan disease. It’s a very rare disease that creates high uric acid in his stomach, which creates kidney stones.
“As the kidney stones form, it depletes his muscle control,” Rea Byrd, his mother, said.

Hay is a significant agricultural crop in Kentucky, with receipts around $150 million in 2009, the most recent year for which data is on file. The Commonwealth typically harvests around 2.5 million acres of hay, the vast majority of which is fescue/grass hay. Because hay is important to livestock producers of all types, learning to effectively manage a hay crop for higher and better yields is a critical skill. New research from the University of Wisconsin Extension summarizes how to shorten the harvest window, enhance forage quality, and reduce the chance for rain damage.
