Extension in St. Clair County is offering a Tomato Grafting Workshop April 9,
2026 from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. at the St. Clair County Library in Osceola. Ramon
Arancibia, Horticulture Specialist, will be sharing his vast knowledge of
essential tomato and fruit tree grafting techniques. The workshop is designed
to provide hands-on grafting experience as an approach to control soilborne
diseases and improve crop yield. By grafting scion plants with desirable fruit
characteristics onto rootstock plants that have disease resistance, stress
tolerance or vigorous root system characteristics, grafted plants combine
beneficial traits from both the scion and rootstock plants. There is no cost to
attend the workshop but registration is required by contacting the Extension
office at (417) 646-2419 or come to the office at the courthouse Tuesday-Thursday
8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

archery, and more. Field trips are available to area schools, churches, and
civic organizations. The cost of the trips is very low and basically just
covers the cost of the expenses. LWR hosts an annual dinner and auction as
their main fundraiser each year. This year it is scheduled for March 28, with
dinner from 5-7 and silent auction and live auction available for those
interested. Cost of the spaghetti or Mexican dinner is by donation at the door,
