Fourth year for 4th of July food pantry distribution

Posted by Fred Steiner on Friday, July 4, 2014

Thanksgiving and Christmas are the holidays typically associated with charitable food distributions, but in 2011 Beth Gray had a different idea.

Beth, a member of the Ada Food Pantry Board, suggested a food distribution associated with the 4th of July. Starting that year the Pantry has during the first week of July distributed to its clients a “basket” of food associated with a summer picnic.

Included were hamburgers or hotdogs, buns, potato salad, corn on the cob and watermelon.

Hardin crop planting update from Extension Office

Posted by Paula Scott on Thursday, July 3, 2014

With the cool, wet spring, farmers have had trouble getting their planting of corn and soybeans done in a timely manner. Up until June 25, there has been a pattern of heavy rains every week or so which has saturated the soil and increased the length of the planting season. Crops that were planted early and have good drainage in the field have done well and are progressing well except for low areas that have been flooded out. These lower areas have slowed root growth and therefore delayed the availability of nutrients to the plants.
