Ada SAFE 2020 collecting questions from the public through July 18
Posted by Fred Steiner on Thursday, July 9, 2020
Ada SAFE (Schools Are For Everyone) 2020 announces the beginning of “AMA: COVID Questions,” which will allow members of the community to ask questions related to the novel coronavirus and COVID-19.
These questions will then be answered by a panel of local experts from the fields of immunology, epidemiology, medicine, psychology, and public health. AMA stands for "Ask Me Anything."
Ada SAFE 2020 hopes that the videos that result from this project can provide vital information for all community members as Ada prepares for the opening of schools this fall.

Farmers will be harvesting wheat in the next few weeks, seeing the outcome of what they planted nine months ago.
However, farmers are already taking steps to prepare for the harvest, such as cleaning storage facilities and checking harvesting equipment.
Most farmers in the area will take their wheat directly to the commercial grain elevator soon after harvest. They generally save their private grain bins for corn storage.
