A conservation program for farmers

Posted by Monty Siekerman on Friday, January 26, 2018

Agricultural producers wanting to enhance current conservation efforts are encouraged to apply for the Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP).

 

Through CSP, USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) helps private landowners build their business while implementing conservation practices that help ensure the sustainability of their entire operation. NRCS plans to enroll up to 10 million acres in CSP in 2018. 

 

While applications for CSP are accepted year-round, applications must be received by March 2, 2018, to be considered for this funding period.

Posted by Monty Siekerman on Monday, January 22, 2018

Meet Midnight. Midnight is a 1 year old female lab mix. She weighs 35 pounds. Can you give Midnight her forever home?

To give a dog a forever home, contact the Hardin County dog shelter. It is located at 49 Jones Road on the west side of Kenton.

Hours: 9 am to 4 pm on Monday, Thursday, and Friday. Phone: 419-674-2209.

Generally, about 20 to 25 dogs are available for viewing.

The shelter is also the place to contact for giving up a dog, if you find a lost or stray dog, or if you come in contact with a vicious dog. It costs $20 to surrender a dog, which pays for deworming and immunizations for when it is rescued.
