T

he Ashland City Times’ annual Fact Book is a peerless resource for all things Cheatham County, offering useful information not only for longtime residents, but also for visitors and newcomers to our community.

Cheatham County is a community steeped in history and enriched by family

ABOUT THE COVER (Top photo) Agriculture plays an important role in Cheatham County’s economy; (middle left) Local veterans are honored during the annual Memorial Day program; (middle right) Cheatham Lake holds an annual fishing rodeo in June; (bottom left) Pegram celebrates during the Independence Day celebration; and (bottom right) A scene from the Cheatham County Central High School football Homecoming parade.

and local traditions.

It's considered one of Middle Tennessee's best-kept secrets — a quiet county of small towns along the Cumberland and Harpeth rivers, unscathed by the rapid development that has engulfed the Nashville area in recent years.

This marks the 27th year for the Fact Book.

As always, the information is provided in a handy, easy-to-access manner.

Sycamore Academy is a new private school located in Pleasant View, offering care for children six weeks through eighth grade.

Sycamore Academy strives to instill in children a passion for learning by specializing in the time-tested, research based educational philosophy of Maria Montessori.

The Montessori method allows children to work at their own pace, manipulating high quality, strategically designed materials that introduce even the smallest child to advanced concepts that will be used later in the abstract studies of the sciences and mathematics.

Through the Montessori method, Sycamore Academy has designed a safe environment of peace, compassion, respect and accountability where children happily work, learn and acquire life skills.

Each classroom is specifically designed to allow children freedom to move about the room, choose their own work, use it appropriately and put it away without constant instruction.

Children are guided by Montessori trained teachers who gently direct each child to the answers they are seeking.

Sycamore Academy’s goal is to cultivate the skills necessary in their students to create the next generation life learners, movers, shakers, and peace makers.

HOME SCHOOL If you are interested in homeschooling in Cheatham County, the Sycamore Valley Homeschool group is an option.

Volunteers helped build the fourth Habitat for Humanity home in Cheatham County this year.

The floods of 2010 hit Cheatham County hard.

When dedicated Habitat volunteers from the Dickson Habitat teamed up with the Cheatham Long Term Recovery committee to help, the community realized that there was a need for a permanent Habitat presence in Cheatham County.

In December of that year, the Cheatham Division of Habitat for Humanity officially opened, bringing the opportunity for low-income families to purchase quality, affordable homes.

Cheatham Habitat has now built four homes in the county, with the latest one being completed in June 2015.

Habitat homeowners earn their zero percent interest mortgage rate by attending homeownership classes and working on the build site.

our community CHEATHAM COUNTY AGRICULTURE Cheatham County has a rich agricultural heritage and generates nearly $14 million annually in net farm income.

Our farm families produce tobacco, livestock, hay, row crops (corn and soybeans) and small-scale fruits and vegetables.

The county currently ranks fourth in the state of Tennessee for tobacco production and is known for growing some of the finest quality dark-fired tobacco anywhere in the world.

The county also produces 10,000 head of beef cattle and 14,000 acres of hay annually. Seven thousand acres of corn and soybeans are produced annually, primarily in the Cumberland and Harpeth River bottoms.

Small-scale fruit and vegetable production is on the increase throughout the county as a growing number of consumers look to purchase locally grown produce.

Programs for farmers, homeowners UT & TSU Cheatham County Extension provides research based information through educational programs to farmers and homeowners. These programs cover a wide range of subject matter at various meetings, workshops, on-farm demonstrations, farm visits, tours and field days.

Participants are informed of these programs through newsletters, local media, electronic media and social media.

Numerous educational publications for agricultural producers, gardeners, and landowners can be found on the UT & TSU Cheatham County Web site at https:// utextension.tennessee.edu/ cheatham.

Some of the primary programs include: » Tennessee Master Beef Producer Program — An educational program designed to provide information to Tennessee cow-calf producers to help them be the very best in the country, improve their profitability and position the industry to be competitive with other states. » Dark-Fired Tobacco Research/Demonstration Plots — Two to three research trials are conducted annually with local tobacco growers in collaboration

Collected data is shared with growers at annual educational programs throughout the region. » Pesticide Safety Education Program — The University of Tennessee Extension provides pesticide safety education training for farmers, farm workers, and pesticide handlers.
