Some Hardin wheat testing at 15.8 percent moisture

Posted by Fred Steiner on Friday, July 1, 2016

By Mark Badertscher, Hardin County Extension Office
Wheat harvest has begun in Hardin County. 

Yesterday while out doing farm visits, I stopped by to talk to a farmer who was opening up his field.  The wheat was testing 15.8% moisture so he decided that he was going to wait and let it dry down. 

Today while out visiting farms and agribusinesses, I saw a couple other farmers combining wheat in the northern part of the county.  According to our weekly Ag Crops team conference call on Monday, southern Ohio has reported very high yields.

Wild! (flowers)

Posted by Fred Steiner on Thursday, June 30, 2016

Three years, a lot of hard work, and $200 worth of seeds gets you a quarter acre of countless blooms. Tammy (pictured) and Mike Bradshaw have developed an eyecatching display in front of their home in the country midway between Ada and Bluffton. In late June the wildflower meadow garden bursts into yellow. Soon, other colors will emerge. You'll find bachelor buttons, daisies, and more.
