A great week for farming

Posted by Fred Steiner on Monday, May 11, 2015

Last week was a great week for farming. Here, a piece of land just west of Grass Run Industrial Park is being tilled in preparation for applying anhydrous ammonia.

Part of the field will be used as a test plot for corn, the remainder put into soybeans.

Hardin County is fourth in the state in the sale of crops and livestock among the 88 counties in Ohio.

Remember, when you get stuck behind a slow-moving piece of farm equipment this time of year that agriculture is big business in Hardin County.
