CHESTER COUNTY, Tenn. July is a special time for the beef industry.
On Friday, the University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture in Chester County held Beef Day at the Henderson Farmers Market.
“We’re out here promoting beef,” said Steve Rickman, a UT Extension Agent. “The purpose of July Beef Month is to sell more beef in the state of Tennessee. So we’re educating our consumers about beef.”
Though this farmers market happens every week, Friday was a special day.
“I’m out here grilling hot dogs and hamburgers, and we’re selling them for funds [so] FFA and 4-H can go on trips,” said Colton Hopper, a 4-H and Future Farmers of America member.
