The popularity of modern day homesteading is exemplified in the overall popularity of some of the television shows dedicated to the subject matter and William Rush of the Ag Center tells us that literally thousands have expressed interest in the upcoming events at the Red River Research Station.

The first of these events is dedicated to hunting here in Northwest Louisiana and the second will cover a variety of topics regarding homesteading in general.
