Giants in the fields on hand at King-Horn

Posted by Fred Steiner on Thursday, February 11, 2016

Photos and story by Monty Siekerman
Here, they are folks, giants in their fields:

• Tommy Laswordfish
• Kevin Duranteater
• Shaquille O'Seal

They (and one other who happened to eat a coach later) were on hand at halftime of the ONU men's basketball game on Wednesday evening at King-Horn.

Not a basketball shot scored, but the halftime entertainment scored many smiles from the spectators.

The giant inflatable characters danced, tumbled, then went into the audience with their antics.

"Corn University," and "Soybean School" coming to ONU in March - audience of 900 anticipated

Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, February 10, 2016

That's right, for two days in early March, you might as well refer to Ohio Northern University as Corn University and Soybean School.

Why?

The Conservation Tillage Conference will be held at the McIntosh Center Wednesday and Thursday, March 2 and 3. It's an event put on by The Ohio State University’s College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences (CFAES).

Over 900 persons are expected to attend.

CTC will offer many presentations to help growers learn where to cut back while ensuring they have healthy soils, healthy water and hopefully a healthy bank account.
