Interviewed by Monty Siekerman
Mike Gossman knows farming, so the Ada Icon asked him about this year’s crop since farming is, by far, the biggest industry in the county.
Gossman said the bean and corn crops are “really good” this year because the weather has been almost perfect for growing with no flooding rains in the spring, intermittent rains throughout the summer and fall, and lots of hot weather.
In the spring, the bean and corn seeds emerged “the best I’ve ever seen,” he said. Mike has been farming since his sophomore year in high school and just turned 60, so he has seen a lot of springs and knows a year that has good germination.
A Hardin County voter forum is planned from 6 to 8 p.m., Tuesday, Oct. 16, in the Hardin County Sheriff’s Department 1025 S. Main St., Kenton.
Sponsors of the forum include Kenton Times, Ada Icon, Ada Herald, Hardin County Republican Party, Hardin County Democratic Party and Allen and Hardin for Election Action and Democracy (AHEAD).
The forum, called “Evening With Your Candidates,” is organized by Hardin County Talks.
