Roberta, I'll tell you what I'd do. Since you're looking for local info, I'd go to the local feed store. Go inside and find the guy with a cowboy hat and approach him and tell him what I'm wanting to do and ask his advice. You'd be amazed at how connected the locals at the feedstore are. They will know everything about your specific location.
Or the local hardware store. In that case, find the guy with overalls on.
