Past, present and future of forage

Chris Penrose

All About Grazing I remember my first day in extension back in the 1980s when I started an internship with Hank Bartholomew, the Perry County Ag Agent, and he was very involved with ways to extend the grazing season and management intensive grazing. Bartholomew, Daryl Clark, Tom Noyes, Ed Vollborn, Bob Hendershot and Gary Wilson were the ones that got me interested and were pushing these concepts around Ohio and beyond. I consider them to be on the Mt. Rushmore of grazing here in Ohio, and I did my best to learn from them. Over the past 35 years, we have seen amazing improvements in the forage industry, especially with alfalfa. We were very fortunate to have our Ohio State University forage professor, Mark Sulc, with us for many years advancing improvements with alfalfa. I recall when potato leafhopper alfalfa was introduced, and it provided us with a pesticide-free way to control this destructive insect. Improvements continued with disease resistance extending the life of the stand, and then Round-Up ready alfalfa was introduced, reducing the weeds in the stands. Most recently, low-lignin alfalfa was introduced, improving digestibility. It certainly hasn’t been all positive over the years, as wildlife and weeds have become more of a challenge.

105

I actually quit raising alfalfa on our family farm back in the 80s when I counted 40 deer in a two-acre field that quickly killed off the stand. Coyotes rapidly expanded, causing issues, and while they never killed any of our newborn calves, cow behavior changed, making them more aggressive when I tried to work the baby calves. Then, black vultures have moved into our area causing even more problems. If that is not enough, I remember our biggest forage weed issue in the 80s being ironweed. While it is as prevalent now as it was then, I rarely hear farmers saying it is an issue. Hemp dogbane, spotted knapweed and cocklebur lead the list with the most frequent calls I get and what I deal with in my pastures. I didn’t even mention multiflora rose and autumn olive. However, I have seen significant improvements in grazing. Most farmers now have multiple pasture fields and do some degree of rotational grazing. One practice I have noticed the most is how much longer the grazing season has become. When I was young, if we could make it to the middle of October, we were doing good. Now, in my neck of the woods, most are still grazing after Thanksgiving. Some of it may be warmer weather in October and November, but I would like to think it is better grazing management — I am sure it is a combination. Most of my career, I have researched ways to extend the grazing season. After corn stalks, stockpiling grass, especially fescue, is the most economical and easiest method to do so. After many trials over the past 35 years, all I can say with statistical significance is adding nitrogen (100# of urea, 46-0-0) will increase yields. Of course, we have other forages like oats, cereal rye and brassicas (i.e. turnips) that can extend the grazing season. Several of the farmers in my area have consistently made it well into February without feeding hay. If we were to ask someone from the city what forages are, I bet they

would not know. If we asked them what grass was, they might say it was just legalized in Ohio. Forages and grasslands are the most important ecosystem in the world. It covers more than 1/3 of the world’s land area and 70% of the world’s agricultural area. In the United States, it covers 38% of the land and 2/3 of all the ag land. For those of us interested in forages and grasslands, we need a voice to advance our cause, and fortunately, we have one. The American Forage and Grassland Council brings producers, educators and industry together to promote and advance forages. Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio all have state councils, and if you join one of them, you also become a member of the national organization. The Ohio Forage and Grassland Council will be having their annual meeting Feb. 9 at Deerassic Park, east of Cambridge. For more information and registration, go to ohioforage. com, and for more information on the national organization and other stateaffiliated councils, go to afgc.org. I have been involved with forages my entire life and will likely do so as long as can. After over 35 years spanning five decades working for OSU Extension, it is time to hand it off to the next generation. I am very confident in the future of forages and the direction we are heading. OSU is in the process of hiring a new forage specialist. We have three state extension specialists working with small ruminant animals, beef and dairy producers, Brady Campbell, Garth Ruff and Jason Hartschuh, who have an interest in forages, and several of our newer extension educators are involved and making an impact. Forages have been a part of my life and career, and I have been blessed. May the grass be greener on your side of the fence.

Do-little House tees up more do-littleness for 2024

Alan Guebert

Farm & Food File Time seems to take longer in Washington, D.C., Case in point: If you were a Republican on Capitol Hill, 2023 was endless. At its start, the year arrived with a new GOP-led House and a new hope that this off-election session would be legislatively productive because 2024, a presidential election year, already loomed like an impending tornado. But the year started poorly with January’s four-day, 15-ballot intraparty brawl that finally delivered the speaker’s gavel to GOP House leader Kevin McCarthy. The bitter, deeply personal battle left wounds on many Republicans and drained McCarthy of any real power from the start. With little mojo in his own caucus and none with Democrats, McCarthy spent most of his waking hours juggling GOP-tossed swords until Oct. 4, when eight of his own party members yanked him feet first from the speaker’s podium. The end, preordained by McCarthy during January’s dealmaking to become speaker, was ugly and unprecedented. “The 216-to-210 vote,” noted Reuters later that day,

25 years ago. Live market hogs are selling for only one-third of what hogs brought in the Great Depression, when those prices are adjusted for today’s inflation. 50 years ago. Farm and Dairy had more pages and more circulation than ever before in its history, during 1973. We hope to continue in 1974 and thereafter, to bring rural residents the latest information and ideas. 75 years ago. Farmers today were urged to invest their boom-time profits in better living for their families — better houses and equipment better food, clothing, education and medical care — and were warned against buying farmland at inflated values. 100 years ago. J.B. Schaeffer, who becomes mayor of Salem January 1, expects to go before the city council with a request that he be given full power, through city ordinances, to go after bootleggers and fine them heavily and to see that such fines go to the credit of the city treasury.

to take up legislation to reauthorize a foreign surveillance law, FISA, before leaving for Christmas was “yet another terrific example of … Johnson’s speakership: He is either unwilling, unable or disinterested in making big decisions.” Who can blame him? The second he was handed the speaker’s gavel — after yet another bloody brawl — his GOP colleagues put a target on his back. Just look at his five immediate Republican predecessors and their fate: Gingrich, deposed; Hastert, deposed; Boehner, deposed; Ryan, deposed; McCarthy, fired. Is Johnson just the next GOP Caesar to be chopped and diced into salad by his own party’s knife fighters? That story will be written in the first four months of 2024 because he faces a legislative calendar that is as relentless as the march of time itself. In January, he must pass “Tranche one of government funding,” the first part of the much-delayed 2024 federal budget, noted Punchbowl. In February, “Tranche two of government funding” looms. March brings the reauthorization of the Federal Aviation Administration and April, our old friend, FISA reauthorization returns. And don’t forget, the overhaul of the 2023 Farm Bill that was punted into 2024 after House Republicans could neither agree on its spending levels nor its spending priorities. Repubs spent the first part of the delay blaming each other for that failure. But, alas, the new year always brings new hope. Unless you’re a member of the House Republican leadership where any day might bring a new speaker. (The Farm and Food File is published weekly through the U.S. and Canada.

Alexander Smalley finds love

Since 1890 lyleprinting.com

Read It Again

“marked the first time in history that the House removed its leader…” Stripped of his power, McCarthy — in another display of his uncanny inability to read the room — boldly assured mutinous colleagues that he’d remain in the House. Eight weeks later, his dream, year and career in tatters, the California Republican announced his resignation at year’s end, another casualty of the too-long 2023. He’s not alone. By mid-December, noted the website Ballotpedia, “38 members of Congress — seven members of the U.S. Senate and 31 members of the U.S. House — announced they would not seek reelection in 2024.” That’s eight more than two years ago and the election is still 11 long months away. McCarthy, however, wasn’t the cause of this year’s House dysfunction; he was just a symptom. In fact, since his firing, the House GOP remains so disorganized it has yet to move any required legislation through its own caucus, let alone through the House. For example, McCarthy’s firing “left Congress in uncharted waters… to update farm-subsidy and nutrition programs, pass government funding bills and consider further aid to Ukraine.” Three months later, every item on this short list not only remains undone under new Speaker Mike Johnson, each seems even further from completion than when McCarthy was struggling to soothe the House’s GOP bellyachers and backbiters. Worse, opined Punchbowl News, a daily report from Capitol Hill, Johnson’s indecisive, do-little style of leadership portends even more donothingness for 2024. For example, the House’s failure

In December 1869, Alexander Smalley wrote in his diary, “Ladies boarding house at Hayesville burned completely. A big loss! College building, my college, saved, thank the good Lord.” Smalley was a 22-year-old bachelor and farmer, as he notes, closing out a successful year with a celebration at the Methodist Church. “Visited with Miss Jenny Goudy. Oh, my.” On Jan. 7, 1870, “I attended society at Buchanan’s school house tonight. Performances were rather

interesting. Discussion: which has been the most imposed upon: white man or Indian?” After having visited again with Miss Jennie Goudy at a turkey roast on New Year’s Day, on Jan. 14 he writes, “Tonight I am with my friend Miss Jennie at her home. Have attained the height of my ambition.” One week later he attended a singing at Mount Pascal with “Miss Jen.” On Jan. 24, “Am at present seated by a comfortable stove in Vantilburg’s jewelry store. It is a splendid room and is well-filled. Incredible inventory, genteel and exquisite. Quarter past three and snowing finely. Lodged my horses at Miller’s stable and will take the cars for Polk. 5 p.m. finds me at Uncle Tom’s.” His social life never lacking, a week later he writes, “The RR surveyors I presume will reach Ashland this evening.Tonight an entertainment was given at Eckley’s by Sheriff Porter and his brother Dave Rowe from Hayesville and a string band numbering six. The house was crowded to excess. The utmost good order was kept and the greatest enthusiasm manifested.” Miss Jennie Goudy was his companion for the Excreteam public en-

tertainment Feb. 1, 1870. “The hall was crowded much to excess, not even standing room sufficient for all.” On Feb. 24, “Business in Ashland brisk today. Oats 42 cents, wheat $1, clover seed 75 cents, lard 15 cents, eggs 15 cents.” An interesting entry on March 7 reads, “Was present at a big oyster supper at Jim McNaull’s tonight. Were nine or 10 couples there. Had lots of fun in the dark.” On Easter Sunday, April 17, Alexander writes, “Three o’clock a.m., April 17, 1870. Will never be forgotten. A pledge and kiss as a token of expected bliss.” A trip to Wooster with his father in the carriage on April 30 brings this entry, “Had an offer of $175 for Marg, but did not take it. Marg, I would insist, is worth much more and this offer was plum insulting. Tonight with my Jennie. Domestic Bliss.” In mid-May, 1870, “Our excellent neighbor Wm Glenn favored me with the use of his impressive buggy for this evening. My partner was, of course, Miss Jennie G — we enjoyed a long ride and was splendid moonlight night for it. I feel as though I am the luckiest young man in the country.”

Letter: Independent cattlemen finally represented at checkoff hearing Have you ever gone to the polls and voted on an issue then come to find out it’s not exactly how it was explained to you? That’s how the Ohio Beef Marketing Plan is. On Dec. 13, I traveled to the Ohio Department of Agriculture in Reynoldsburg to deliver testimony on why the Ohio Beef Marketing plan needed to be eliminated. Five people attended as the public information was only listed on the ODA website, even the Ohio Beef Council which collects the tax and spends it didn’t have a public post or notice about the meeting, probably for fear of cattlemen like myself showing up and asking questions like “Why aren’t we promoting Ohio Beef?” The main question I asked was “What is the return on investment to the cattlemen in Ohio?” I had to first explain that I was in the cattle industry (the taxpayers) and not the beef industry (tax benefactors). I don’t break down carcasses, have the ability to turn up

or down the chain speeds at processing plants, set the price of box beef or manipulate the price farmers and ranchers receive for cattle. And I most certainly don’t import beef or invest in fake meat plants. Then I went on to testify that checkoff money was being sent and used by organizations “specifically the NCBA” against the cattle industry. Cattle marketing policies like M-COOL “Mandatory Country of Origin Labeling” and stiffer Packers & Stockyard Act laws were being lobbied off the docket or repealed. The NCBA even testified before Congress for the repeal of M-COOL saying “Beef is beef whether it comes from Montana, Mexico or Mazatlán,” and the U.S. government’s lobbying reports also indicated that NCBA lobbyists’ main objective was to prevent the introduction or inclusion of M-COOL. One of my last questions was around the allegedly $11.91 return on investment that the checkoff gets for cattlemen and women.

My testimony lasted only 15 minutes and, in the end, I presented the ODA rep with a binder full of factual information and related articles. Like other cattlemen across this state and country, I worked an outside job in construction for 35 years and ran work for several reputable companies. If at any time questions and allegations of that magnitude were asked about job-related problems or performances and were not answered, I would have been immediately fired. It is now up to the Director of Agriculture Baldrige for a determination on a referendum. The executive director of the Ohio Beef Council always claims that producers overwhelmingly support the checkoff. Here’s her chance to actually prove it. Anyone wanting a copy of my testimony, email Dhydefarm@windstream.net.

REYNOLDSBURG, Ohio — The Ohio Department of Agriculture announced that nine land trusts, seven counties or townships and 25 Soil and Water Conservation Districts will receive funding to help preserve farmland across the state. These organizations will receive allocations from the Clean Ohio Fund to select, close and monitor easements under the Local Agricultural Easement Purchase Program, or LAEPP. Ohio landowners interested in selling an agricultural easement on their farms can fill out an application with their LAEPP sponsor or-

ganization. A total of $6 million will be made available in this round of funding. Local sponsors have been certified to accept applications in 51 counties. Landowners should contact the certified local sponsor in their county for application details. The program allows landowners to voluntarily sell easements on their farms to the state of Ohio. The easement requires the farm to permanently remain in agriculture production. Selected farms must be 40 acres or more, actively engaged in farming, participate in the Current Agricultural Use Valuation

program, demonstrate good stewardship of the land, have the support of their local government, and not lay directly in the path of development. Landowners may use the proceeds of the easement in any way they wish, but most reinvest it in their farm operations. Funding for the program is derived from the Clean Ohio Conservation Fund, approved by voters in 2008. When combined with easements from all programs, 704 family farms in 62 counties have collectively preserved more than 105,000 acres in agricultural production.

Traders love to stir up a weather market One of the oldest axioms in the grain business is that the traders “kill” the crop at least once a year. This is, in fact, a cynical observation about trading wheat and watching price volatility. Most years, we see volatility in wheat prices, especially in the winter. Usually, there is some reason for them. Sometimes the price action is a head-scratcher. I was clawing at the noggin a couple of days ago when I saw reports that the rain in the southern Plains was the reason for a one-day rally in wheat prices. Duh? Usually, rain in the historically dry Great Plains is good for

wheat and bad for wheat prices. In fact, the extreme southwest portion of the wheat country of the Plains is actually irrigated ground that grows wheat among other crops and was known to early explorers as the “Staked Plains,” part of the “Great American Desert.” The area gets an annual rainfall ranging from 23 inches in the east to 14 inches in the west, in the high plains of New Mexico. “Killing the wheat crop” is a Kansas City futures market phenomenon that carries over into Chicago markets. The cynic in me says it happens because there is little news to trade in the middle of winter when winter wheat is the only crop growing (or at least planted), and traders love to stir up a weather market. Sometimes it is dry conditions, like last year when the talk was that the wheat was not even germinated in the dust, and large acreages would be abandoned. Sometimes it is cold. A farmer from Ashtabula County, Ohio, would find it hard to understand, coming from an area where the ground often does not even freeze because of snow cover, but every time it gets windy and zero degrees in the Plains, there is talk of winter kill and abandoned acres. There is always talk because sometimes it is true. Sometime near the end of March, Prospective Planting Report traders find new nuggets of news to trade, and, if we are warming up, the winter kill problem tends to sort itself out. Some of the problems Plains farmers face are hard for us to understand. Back in the dark ages, my father and I made a marathon trip from Cherry Valley to Mesa, Arizona, on the way

back at $4.72 on the March contract. You would think that our current export news is positive, but we are lower the last few days regardless. We exported just over 1 MMT of corn the week that ended Dec. 14. That makes the seventh week above 1 MMT of corn exported, which gives us 28.2 MMT for the crop year, which started in September. That pace is 37% above the pace last year at this time. I am reminded of the TV commercial — shingles doesn’t care! Neither does the market, I guess. When it takes this much bullish news to just keep prices from collapsing, we have a lot to fear. Soybeans have a different problem. We are seeing Brazil be the number one source for exports, and this is coming at our expense. We exported almost 2 MMT of beans in the last week for which we have numbers. This is 16.5% behind the pace of last year, and that can’t be good. The Chicago cookie wheat shows a better picture. We have spent the last 10 sessions getting smaller and smaller trading ranges each day. That is producing what we call a pennant formation on the charts, where we are getting squeezed out of the formation. In theory, that means the next couple of days can start a move lower or higher. We are due for a breakout, and I hope it is in the up direction. We just posted the largest export week on record for wheat. We shipped 55 million bushels, 75% of that to China.

to the Rose Bowl. We stopped once to sleep, in Florence, Kansas. I picked up a newspaper in the restaurant the next morning and read that there were large anticipated losses in cattle herds because of the blizzard. I mentioned to a local that I didn’t understand what a half-inch of snow had to do with a blizzard. He rebuked me for my ignorance (not the first time that has happened). On the flat Plains, it seems, a halfinch of snow blows sideways until it finds the first low spot. The cattle gather in the low spot for shelter from the wind and get buried in several feet of snow, accumulated over a few miles of flat ground. Grain prices. Whatever the winter news will be, this week, the news was of a market that got a little squirrely, but mostly stayed put, and in the case of soybeans, dropped below another benchmark number. On Dec. 19, we traded as high as $13.28 3/4 briefly but dropped lower in the next couple of days. As this was being written Dec. 21, the January soybeans were trading at just $12.98, below the magic $13. We have now traded parts of the last two weeks 10 sessions in the vicinity of $12.98. Now that we have gotten some rain in South America, we have little reason to go higher. That is, unless the fact that the spec traders are adding to soy and soymeal positions, gives us a little help. We did trade corn almost three cents higher Dec. 18, but the bounce did not last long. We have been in a slow but steady decline for some time. The last pop on the chart was for $5.21 1/2 Oct. 20.

Developing a vision statement

Chris Zoller

Answers from

Dairy Excel If your family is like mine, watching Christmas Vacation — at least once — is an annual occurrence this time of year. The main character, Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase), is determined to show his family a fun, old-fashioned Christmas. Things quickly become chaotic. From the fiasco of searching for the perfect Christmas tree, to Cousin Eddie and the rest of Clark’s family coming to stay for Christmas, to receiving a Jelly of the Month Club membership instead of cash as his annual bonus, Clark finally understands the true meaning of the season — it’s about the people in your life, even if they frustrate you. Managing a successful dairy farm requires communicating and working with a diverse group of people. Like Clark Griswold, these people may sometimes frustrate you, but they are there to help answer your questions, provide direction and support and help you accomplish your goals. If you are successful, these same people are successful — it’s a win-win for everyone. As the year draws to a close, take a moment to reflect on the folks who provide advice, direction, guidance and support to you, your family, and farm business. While not an exhaustive list, here are a few examples: family, who provides labor, opinions and support; employees, who complete daily tasks necessary to keep your business operational; the lender, who provides essential operating capital; the agronomist, who assists with nutrient recommendations; the accountant, who helps manage the everchanging tax laws; the nutritionist, who develops rations that allow cows to provide maximum milk production; the attorney, who reviews and negotiates leases, agreements and directs transition plans; the extension educator, who provides current, unbiased research to help you make informed decisions; the veterinarian, who provides services to keep your animals healthy and productive; the financial planner who helps you plan for retirement and transition your business; and NRCS/SWCD personnel, who provide technical assistance for nutrient management and water quality issues. Vision statement. In addition to the services your advisors provide, they can be called upon to help you develop a vision statement for your farm. A vision statement is a brief description of what the management team wants the farm to look like in the future and should help motivate management, employees and advisors to meet farm goals. According to Purdue University Extension Specialists, a vision statement includes three important elements: a core ideology, an envisioned future and recognition of service to stakeholders. The core ideology reflects the “reason for being.” The envisioned future describes what the farm will look like if it achieves its most important goals. The final part of the vision statement recognizes how the farm business serves its stakeholders, including family, employees, advisors and the local community.

Sample vision statement. If you’ve never seen or developed a vision statement, it may be helpful to see an example. The example below is from a 250-head dairy farm that also raises corn, soybeans, silage and hay. “MBC Farms will be an agribusiness focused on the profitable, progressive and sustainable production of premium quality, identity-preserved grains, oilseeds and dairy products. MBC Farms will be a respected, responsible neighbor and an asset to our community. We prefer a rural lifestyle and are willing to embrace change as a means to that end. MBC Farms will provide the opportunity for our children and employees to participate in production agriculture either as owners and/or managers of the business.” The statement developed by MBC Farms highlights what they value, including being profitable, sustainable, respected in their community and providing opportunities for their children. A well-developed vision statement can be useful when unexpected issues or opportunities arise. The vision statement can also provide a foundation in the process of developing goals for the business. Writing a vision statement. A

vision statement is a description of what your farm will look like in the future. It is not a dream, but rather, a commitment. The vision provides the basis for managing the tasks necessary to achieve goals. In addition to providing direction, the statement helps develop management strategy, identify opportunities and make business decisions. As you begin writing your vision statement, consider these questions presented in the Purdue University Extension bulletin, Developing Vision and Mission Statements: 1. In 10 years, our business will be? 2. We will be recognized by our ability to? 3. We are pursuing these activities because? Summary. Like Clark Griswold, I hope you realize that perfection is not the goal. Rather, recognizing that people are essential to your long-term success should be the focus. I encourage you to work closely with your family and advisors as you develop a vision statement for your farm business.

Need New wheels? we Got You Covered! CHECK OUT THE RURAL MARKETPLACE

The presents have been unwrapped; our waistbands may be a bit tighter than they were on the first of December, but with the New Year on the horizon comes the time for change and reflection. Most people pledge to be nicer and let the small things go, but I would wager that the most popular vow is to be healthier. With all of these goals on my New Year’s docket, I wanted to challenge myself and others to not only think about their own health but also the health of the land around us. Lucky for us, with the end of the holidays coming up, most of our households have the perfect item to get started on creating a healthier environment, and no, I don’t mean that hideous article of clothing one of your distant relatives got you. I am talking about your Christmas tree. Real Christmas trees are a wonderful starting point to creating a habitat in your own backyard or pond.

Here are three ways to get started on your own: Create a brush pile for wildlife.

A widely underutilized way to reuse Christmas trees is by making brush piles out of them. When constructing your brush pile, make sure to place it away from the house and near existing thick cover to attract animals to use it. When you pick out your spot, lay the tree on its side and stack branches and limbs around it in a square arrangement until you have reached the height you desire. This will provide a small haven for a variety of birds and small mammals to live, hunt or hide. If you want to create a larger brush pile, multiple trees can be used in the same arrangement. Create a haven for fish. Probably the most widely used application for reusing Christmas trees is creating habitat for fish. You can sink single or multiple trees by securing the trunk to something heavy like a cinder block. When putting them in water, make sure it is deep enough for the trees to be completely submerged. The branches and trunk can create complexity and structure to a lake or pond that was previously lacking. Branches can create hiding and feed-

ing places for smaller fish and attract macroinvertebrates, which can then attract larger game fish. Mulch it up. If you don’t have space or want to commit to either of the previous options mulching your tree is also a great alternative. The mulch can be used to prevent soil erosion, help treat compaction, retain moisture and add nutrients to the soil. You will need to either own borrow or rent a woodchipper for this application. All these applications do require a bit of effort, but the outcome well outweighs the work. If you are unable to do any of these options listed above but still want to help, you can call your town and see if they do a tree pick-up.

Eliza Blue

Little Pasture on the Prairie In the winter, I often bring warm water to the chickens. Kitty, the unofficial queen of the coop, always gets to the water first, and as is her custom, pecks authoritatively at the head of anyone who tries to approach. Pippa, the floppy-combed leghorn, runs in circles making forlorn clucking sounds. The others simply stand at a safe distance, waiting. Kitty will dip her narrow beak into the bucket, then throw her feathered cheeks back again and again, gurgling down drops, not letting anyone else have a drink. It all gets me thinking about an Advent sermon. The readings for the week included a verse in which John the Baptist exhorts the crowds who have come to hear him speak: ‘Anyone who has two coats should share with the one who has none. Anyone with food should do the same.” This verse really struck me because it is not asking you to give away your

only coat, to go without warmth in a cold season, it is simply asking that you share what you have, if you have more than you need. On the drive home after church I couldn’t help but think of the closet by the front door, so jammed with coats the rod is bowed in the middle. There are fancy leather jackets, manure-spattered canvas parkas, knit coats, woolen coats and the coats of deceased relatives that are either five sizes too wide or two sizes too narrow. Many of them we inherited with this house and they haven’t been touched in years. All in all, that closet probably has thirty coats in it. I’ve given a few away, but I can’t bring myself to part with more. What if we have visitors? What if one of our coats gets ripped or ruined beyond repair? What if we need those coats someday? So, we have thirty adult-sized coats for two adult-sized people, and Kitty has a whole bucket of water while her sisters go thirsty. Meanwhile, all across the globe, people have set out tiny replicas of a barn, open on one side. In it kneel a man and a woman, perhaps some shepherds, and three men in elaborate gowns. They are looking at a tiny, naked baby, just born. A baby who grows up to tell all who will listen: Help one another, give of yourselves and don’t take more than you need. Back at the coop, I set down a second dish of water. Kitty was torn between her impulse to guard the first water bucket and her desire to survey the new item I’d introduced. The other hens fluttered down

again, and dodging between Kitty’s divided attention, were able to grab a few quick drinks before ascending to their roosts one final time. Kitty relented at last and climbed up to join them. Just then Ellie rushed in and lapped up the rest of the water with great gusto. I had to chuckle. All that time Kitty spent guarding the water? In the end, she lost it anyway — even a hen as tough as Kitty is no match for a sheepdog. I walked back to the house, Ellie bounding beside me, looking up at the sky holding the snow. Long after dark, the clouds would finally let go of their cargo, covering the prairie in a thick blanket of white. A blanket that will last until the next thaw, when some of the snow will sink into the earth, collecting underground, waiting for spring so it can be reborn as the grasses and the wildflowers. Some of it will linger in dams and move on to rivers. Some of it will be gathered up by another set of clouds. And some of it just might trickle into a well beside a little pasture on the prairie, where it will be drunk up by a naughty brown hen named Kitty, even though she doesn’t deserve it. But such is the nature of grace for chickens and for us too. Merry Christmas everyone! (Eliza Blue is a shepherd, folk musician and writer residing in western South Dakota. In addition to writing her weekly column, “Little Pasture on the Prairie,” she writes and produces audio postcards from her ranch and just released her first book, “Accidental Rancher.” She also has a weekly show, “Live from the Home Farm,” that broadcasts on social media every Saturday night from her ranch.)

USDA wants public input on reporting for foreign landowners WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Agriculture is requesting public input — due by Feb. 16 — on how foreign filers report agricultural land holdings in the United States. USDA’s Farm Service Agency is proposing to update the Agricultural Foreign Investment Disclosure Act Report form so that reporting can include data on long-term lessees, data to assess the impacts of foreign investment on agricultural producers and rural communities and to gather geospatial information. These updates to the form will help FSA in the collection of data as it administers the Agricultural Foreign Investment Disclosure Act of 1978 (AFIDA). The public can submit input through the Federal eRulemaking portal, docket FSA-2023-0017. All comments will be posted without change and will be publicly available on www.regulations.gov. For more information contact Mary Estep at 202720-3217 or mary.estep@usda.gov. The input collected from the public will assist in creating an electronic submission system for foreign filers and improve accuracy in data reporting.

HARRISBURG, Pa. — Pennsylvania Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding called for proposals for $450,000 in research grants through the Center for Poultry & Livestock Excellence, created under the Pennsylvania Farm Bill. Since 2019, Pennsylvania has invested $4.5 million in the center to be used to strengthen Pennsylvania’s animal agriculture sector. The center was integral in managing the outbreak of avian influenza in 2022 and early 2023, and in continual plan-

ning to ensure continuity of business for Pennsylvania’s poultry and livestock industries. The center invites research proposals that focus on poultry, swine, sheep and goat production, including projects that advance biosecurity protections and animal disease emergency preparation and response; build Pennsylvania’s animal agriculture infrastructure, increasing workforce skill proficiency and technology use, including telemedicine use by veterinarians; increase food security

by enhancing the state’s supply chain and decreasing risks and applied research to address emerging diseases and their economic impact, explore regenerative livestock production and precision farming. Proposals can be submitted online no later than 11 a.m. March 21. Complete proposal guidelines as well as research currently funded and underway, project success stories. An archive of funded projects can be found on the center’s website: poultryandlivestockexcellence.org.

‘Sweet Little Jesus Boy’

Part two: ‘A birth, a prayer, a call’

Rev. Eldon Trubee

Like as a Fire Matthew 25;31-40. [Jesus speaks] When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory. And before him shall be gathered all nations; and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats. And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. Then shall the King say unto them on his right, “Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungered, and ye gave me meat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink; I was a stranger, and ye took me in. Naked, and ye clothed me; I was sick, and ye visited me; I was in prison, and ye come unto me.” Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, “Lord, when saw thee ahungered, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? or when saw we thee sick or in prison, and came unto thee?” And the King shall answer and say unto them, “Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me …”

A BIRTH, A PRAYER, A CALL Last week’s column introduced Saint Francis of Assisi, the 12th-century monk who was well-known for his compassion toward the poor and neglected people. A man who shared what he had with those in need, Fran-

cis wrote a prayer that reflected what he believed to be his and our calling from God. “Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is sadness, joy; And where there is darkness, light. Grant that I may seek not so much to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive, in pardoning that we are pardoned, and dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.” The previous column focused on two of the six categories for him (and us) to pursue. The first two appeared last week. 1. Sow love where there is hatred. Love involves attempting to understand why we or others feel hatred, then taking a risk to approach the aggrieved person. It is a risk worth taking. 2. Offer and accept pardon where there is injury. Let’s ponder the final four categories. 3. Pursue faith where there is doubt. Doubts occupy much of our lives. We fear the hacking of our computers. Social media messages and phishing expeditions on our cell phones rightly cause confusion and mistrust. Loyalty to people and institutions are questioned. Our world is filled with doubts that begin with our everyday experiences, that can spill over into our relationships with God. The ability to have faith in something positive and good is necessary for our well-being. You and I, as people of faith, must attempt to understand to the best of our abilities what is true and good, and speak to and live it as God guides us. We must be like solid rocks of reliability and stability. When we do so, we open the possibility that some faith in a loving and just God exists and cares for us all. 4. Provide hope where there is despair. All of us have experienced moments of feeling helpless in the face of seemingly insurmountable problems. We often can find help from some-

But the hymns, despite its Southern “we love him” style, aren’t so sweet. It has some real adult-world themes. One stanza is:

one. That person may be a professional problem solver, someone who helps us work through our issues or someone who points us toward God’s guidance. How often have we considered the possibility that the Almighty works through people? That’s where we come into play by offering what skills we possess to those who despair. Anything we can do offers glimpses of hope. If we make such offers, let’s consider the possibility that we are instruments of God’s purpose. 5. May we present joy in the presence of sadness. This part of Francis’ prayer sounds naive and almost ridiculous at first glance. But let’s consider this. When someone is hurting in the face of loss or bad news, what do we often do? We may listen to that person. We may bring food or offer other forms of comfort and support. Aren’t those reminders that one may know and be joyful that someone is there to help and care? Indeed. If we offer that presence, may we do so in Jesus’ name. The next step is to ask God for comfort and strength. That, too, is a source of joy. 6. May there be light in the presence of darkness. Darkness hides things, both good and bad. Darkness hides truth. Darkness is often an enemy to body, mind and soul. Our task as believers in God is to shed light. Discover what is true, as God helps find it and reveal it, so that good and evil can be discerned. Saint Francis begins his prayer by asking God to make him an instrument of God’s peace. Peace, or shalom, its Hebrew equivalent, includes Francis’ six categories: Love, Pardon, Faith, Hope, Joy and Light. This prayer appropriately moves us from the birth of Jesus, the Prince of Peace, into the challenges to peace in 2024. Remember that Jesus said that when we provide acts that bring peace to someone, we are doing the same to him. Let’s find ways to be peace’s instruments, as we celebrate Jesus’ birth and the empty slate of a New Year. God, may we find ways to be instruments of your peace. Amen.

Goodness in the land Weekly Lessons & Inspiration

This world treats you mean, Lord… Treats me mean too. But that’s how things are done down here. We didn’t know it was you.

Rev. Stephen Broache “…our hearts were blind, we could not see. We didn’t know who you were.” — from “Sweet Little Jesus Boy” We call him Messiah, Emmanuel, Christ, The Son of God. What about “sweet little Jesus boy”? It is a favorite earworm for me in the Christmas season. So touching, and wonderful in its theology. Living in the South, I heard a lot of “honey” and “sweet” and “darlin’” when people speak to a loved one. Athen and Nico are my sweet boys, Mackenzie is my sweet girl, and Archer is my sweetest boy, (as my youngest grandchild). I can’t help it, they’re just like sugar to me. So sweet.

The birth was beautiful, such an emotional scene of love. Mother and child, being laid in a manger with all of “the friendly beasts.” But in his life, he was treated mean. And I would guess it hurt. And since that’s the way of the world, we run up against meanness too. We have our faith, and just maybe we gain some strength and wisdom through it all. At the least, we are treading the same path as our sweet Jesus. The other lesson that leaps out to me is the repeated line. “we didn’t know who you were,” He was not just a wanna-be revolutionary or pretender. He was the Holy Son of God. Now we know. “O come let us adore him, Christ the Lord.” Prayer: Lord, if we could only have been there to hold you as that beautiful newborn infant, or be with you as you played at our feet. Grant us courage to share our love for you, our sweet little boy. Amen. P.S. Beautiful versions of the song to listen to: Mahalia Jackson and Ann Murray. Powerful!

Meditation from the Upper Room “Why has the Lord decreed such a great disaster against us? What wrong have we done? What sin have we committed against the Lord our God?” — Jeremiah 16:10 (NIV)

WHATEVER TOMORROW BRINGS “You have an aggressive form of breast cancer.” I heard the oncologist’s words but was unsure how to process the information. Cancer evoked terrifying emotions as I faced a bleak future back in 2015. Despite my Christian faith, I felt a gripping fear that seemed to hold me hostage, something I had never experienced to this extent. So I did the only thing I could do with this frightening news; I turned to God and to scripture. As I studied the Bible, God met me there. Night after night I found comfort in scripture. Even scripture I had read many times took on new and hope-filled meaning. Jeremiah’s prayer of confidence in God, “O Lord, my strength and my

John 3:16

fortress, my refuge in time of distress” now became mine. Hearing God’s word in scripture gave me the peace I so desperately needed, and eventually, my fear gave way to a remarkable calm. After surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation I continue to be cancer-free, but tomorrow is never certain. Yet we know that God holds our tomorrows, on this earth and throughout eternity. When I turned to scripture in my time of fear, God met me there. And what I discovered eventually turned my fear into faith and my worries into a clearer trust in God — whatever tomorrow brings.

TODAY’S PRAYER Heavenly Father, thank you for your promise never to leave or forsake us. Grant peace and comfort to those who are suffering from life-threatening illnesses. Amen. — Teresa Todt, Illinois

Norfolk Southern to end relocation aid for East Palestine residents By Josh Funk

AP Business Writer

Norfolk Southern plans to stop paying relocation aid to people displaced by last February’s derailment in eastern Ohio after Feb. 3 — the one-year anniversary of the crash. Railroad officials announced the change as they reiterated their longterm commitment to helping the town of East Palestine, Ohio, and the surrounding area near the Pennsylvania border recover. Norfolk Southern has committed more than $103 million in aid to the area, including nearly $21 million paid out directly to residents whose lives were upended by the derailment. With the completion of soil removal from the derailment site in October, the Atlanta-based railroad decided it was time to stop paying the expenses of people who still haven’t returned to their homes. A Norfolk Southern spokesman

said fewer than 100 households are still receiving that aid. The railroad is offering to pay to clean the homes of anyone who hasn’t returned home yet as long as they didn’t already take advantage of a similar program. And for residents who decided to move, Norfolk Southern has offered to compensate them for any lost value in their homes as long as they agree to give up any other property damage claims against the railroad. Norfolk Southern has estimated that its response to the derailment has cost nearly $1 billion and that total will only grow as the cleanup continues. But the railroad will get compensation from its insurers and likely other companies involved in the derailment to offset the cost. (©2023 Associated Press. All rights reserved.

EPA begins review of toxic chemical that burned in Ohio train derailment (Continued from Page A1)

“Vinyl chloride was classified as a human carcinogen in 1974. That same year, the federal government wisely banned the use of vinyl chloride in hair sprays, refrigerants, cosmetics and drugs,’’ said Judith Enck, a former EPA regional administrator and president of the advocacy group Beyond Plastics. Enck and other advocates had called the toxic train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, a warning that the U.S. must ban petrochemicals such as vinyl chloride. Jess Conard, an East Palestine resident who now works as a regional director for Beyond Plastics, said EPA was making the right decision. “Vinyl chloride is transported by rail all over the country and is the primary chemical that has contaminated not just my home in East Palestine, Ohio, but other communities where PVC and vinyl chloride manufacturing facilities exist,’’ Conard said in a statement. “If you live along the rail line, you are at risk for the same fate (as East Palestine) with every passing train that is transporting toxic chemicals,’’ she said. Conard faulted what she called “an insatiable

demand” by Americans for plastic products that has “driven the need for increased transport of these hazardous substances, placing communities like mine at risk every single day. Vinyl chloride is found in plastic PVC pipes, as well as vinyl siding, packaging and a range of consumer goods, including furniture, car parts, shower curtains and toys used by children and pets. Inhalation of vinyl chloride has been linked to liver cancer and other health problems, according to the National Cancer Institute, and its use has long been banned in cosmetics, hair spray and other personal products. PVC plastic is not a known or suspected carcinogen, the agency said. Industry response. The Vinyl Institute, a trade group that represents manufacturers, said it was prepared to work with EPA on the risk analysis. The institute “has indicated our strong interest to be engaged in the process early, and to serve as a collaborative resource for the agency,’’ said Ned Monroe, the Vinyl Institute’s president and CEO. “This is an opportunity to correct any misunderstanding about the regulation of vinyl chloride manufacturing and the safety of PVC products,’’ Monroe said. “We believe this risk evaluation will further assure that the production of vinyl chloride and use of PVC products are safe. Manufacturers of vinyl chloride adhere to some of the most stringent safety and environmental regulations in the chemical industry.’’ Vinyl chloride monomer is an intermediary chemical found in PVC products that are used every day, Monroe said, including PVC pipes used for drinking water, vinyl windows and siding and medical products such as IV blood bags. Breaking point. Debate over vinyl chloride has simmered for years but gained a new urgency after the Feb. 3 derailment of a Norfolk Southern freight train in East Palestine. Three days later, emergency crews released toxic vinyl chloride from five tank cars and burned it to keep them from exploding. That sent a billowing plume of black smoke over the town near the Pennsylvania border and prompted the evacuation of about half of its 5,000 residents. Nearly a year later, some residents remain concerned about lingering impacts on health, even though state and federal officials say tests show the town’s air and water are safe. The Feb. 6 burn sparked worries that it could have formed dioxins, a known carcinogen created from burning chlorinated carbon materials. Since an evacuation order was lifted near the derailment site, vinyl chloride has not been found in the community at or above an intermediate screening level, the EPA said. The agency ordered testing for the highly toxic compounds after the derailment; results so far suggest there’s a low chance that dioxins were released following the derailment, the EPA said.

Now that we are only 362 days or so away from NEXT Christmas, I feel it is time to clear up some common Christmas misconceptions. There is a commonly held concept that fruitcake is just terrible, a scourge upon humanity. This is not true. Fruitcake is delicious. I need people to stop being wrong. It is said that 99% of people think fruitcake is an abomination and not actually digestible food. Johnny Carson is famous for his long-standing fruitcake jokes. On his “Tonight Show” during the 1960s, Carson said, “There is only one fruitcake in the entire world, and people keep sending it to each other, year after year.” Other core fruitcake humor includes: “Why does fruitcake make the perfect gift? “Because the U.S. Postal Service hasn’t found a way to damage it.” Finally, we have the tried and true. “You don’t have to eat it. Just use it as a doorstop.” The news even has lighthearted stories of fruitcakes that are passed back and forth for a century rather than ever actually being eaten. That can be taken one of two ways. It’s either a sign of how much people LOVE their heirloom fruitcakes — or completely hate them. Pass. Two friends from Iowa have reportedly been exchanging the same fruitcake for over 70 years. Even older is the fruitcake left behind in Antarctica by the explorer Robert Falcon Scott in 1910 and found in 2017 still intact. Although the Guinness Book of World Records doesn’t have a category for ancient fruitcakes specifically, they do recognize some welltraveled confections. Allegedly, the oldest cake on record was found in an Egyptian tomb and is believed to be 4,176 years old. In more “recent’ fruitcake news, we have the cake baked in 1878 by Fidelia Ford in Michigan. It is reported that Fidelia traditionally

he weekend before New Year’s Day will likely be dedicated to taking down the Christmas decorations, dragging out the Christmas tree and cleaning the house. Although everything could use a dusting and I don’t mind the smell of Pledge, I’ll be a little sad to see the Christmas tree go and I’m going to miss its piney scent. If you, too, find yourself wishing to extend the usefulness of your living Christmas tree, you might consider turning it into a bird feeding station after you’ve drug it out of the house. Just stake it down and decorate it with edible ornaments and garland for the birds. Here are some ideas to consider:

PINE CONE BIRD FEEDERS Supplies

• Pinecones • Plastic spoon • Peanut butter or suet • Mixing bowl • Twine • Birdseed • Scissors • Elmer’s non-toxic glue

Steps

nut butter or suet all over their scales. Using your plastic spoon, make sure they are generously covered. 5. Finally, roll each pinecone in your birdseed until cones are coated.

EDIBLE GARLAND Supplies

• Popcorn • Dried fruit • Cranberries • Needle and thread

Steps

1. Loop your thread through your needle, tying it off close to the eye of the needle. 2. String popcorn, pieces of dried fruit and cranberries onto the thread, creating an edible garland you can loop around your tree. 3. When you are happy with the length, tie off both ends.

OTHER EDIBLE ORNAMENTS

1. Check your pinecones for scales that haven’t popped. Place them in your preheated oven at 300 F for 10 minutes. This will force them to pop open. 2. Let your pinecones cool off for 5 to 10 minutes. 3. Next, cut six-inch pieces of twine to either tie or glue to your pinecones. 4. Once your pinecones are popped, cooled and twined, you can prepare to spread a thick layer of pea-

Decorating your tree with pine cone bird feeders and edible garland will be enough to attract birds to your Christmas tree feeding station, but you might also try these other edible ornament ideas: • Small mesh bags of suet • Small bunches of grain flowers, such as wheat • Half rings of oranges filled with birdseed • Small ears of corn • Small dried sunflower heads • Fresh orange slices (Sara is Farm and Dairy’s managing editor.

Staying healthy means staying home By Matilda Charles I’ve been lax lately in terms of my health. I admit it. While I haven’t been at music concerts among thousands of people or riding packed subway cars, I have been going to stores during the daytime when the aisles are full. This was especially true during the holiday shopping season. It’s time to stop that — again — and start staying home, again. Respiratory syncytial virus (also known as RSV) is on the rise where I live, and likely elsewhere. It was only a few months ago that the CDC was advising pediatricians to keep the standard RSV shot they usually give children and save it for the babies that were most vulnerable because supplies were limited. That does not bode well for getting a handle on the spread of RSV. And it’s certainly not an illness seniors want. And then we have COVID ... still with us and never really went away, despite the number of people in stores who were not wearing masks. Seniors don’t want that one either. And then there’s the regular, garden variety seasonal flu. The version of the flu shot for seniors this year is a high-dose quadrivalent, which covers two A types as well as two B versions. So we should be protected if we have that shot, they say. While we were locked down because of the COVID-19 pandemic, flu nearly disappeared. This is because we were staying home, we were washing our hands, we were wearing masks if we had to go out and we were social distancing — all things to protect against COVID, but it also worked to protect against flu. I for one am going back to my safety protocols. With three viruses out there right now, I’m better off going back to Zoom calls with friends and the delivery of groceries. Why take a chance?

Fish feeders. If you have a pond, sink your tree into the water. The fish will use it as a feeding area and for shelter. If you don’t have a lake or pond on your property, check with your city or township to see if they offer a drop-off location for the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Wildlife to pick up and put in nearby lakes. Mulch or compost. If you have a wood chipper, remove the tree’s branches, chip the tree and make mulch to use in your garden or for compost. Some communities even offer mulching programs that will chip and shred trees for you, and then return the mulch so you can use it in your garden. Before you send your tree away, make sure all ornaments, garland and lights have been removed. Potpourris and sachets. Pine needles make great potpourris and sachets. Just store the needles in a brown paper bag in a cool, dry area and they will retain their scent for a while. Firewood. Cut up your tree and use it as firewood for your fireplace or fire pit. Be careful using the branches as they can send off sparks and if you’re burning in the fireplace in your home, the Christmas tree firewood should only be used to start the fire as burning pine wood may leave a residue on your fireplace. You should also wait for the wood to become seasoned and safe to burn. Saving the wood for summer fires is another option. Woodworking. Give the gift of coasters or trivets next Christmas made from this year’s tree. Plaques with family names and addresses can be crafted. If you didn’t use the whole tree as a bird feeding station, you might create a birdhouse from the twigs and branches of your tree. Walkways. You can cut and use logs from your Christmas tree for garden barriers or paths. Additionally, shredding the tree makes a natural path material that is aesthetically pleasing, comfortable to walk on and good for the environment. Prevent erosion. Christmas trees are effective soil erosion barriers and can be used along lakes and rivers to ensure shoreline stabilization and sediment management. Improve your garden soil. Burning your Christmas tree and using the ashes is another option. The ashes are nutrient- and mineral-rich and can be spread in your garden to improve the soil.

Fruitcake Appreciation Society (Continued from Page B1)

made her fruitcakes ahead and let each one age a full year before serving at family gatherings. Sadly, she passed away before she was able to enjoy her 1878 fruitcake. Her family then became very possessive of the now “heirloom” fruitcake and took care to preserve it for generations after. It was sampled only once when Fidelia’s son, Morgan, appeared on the “Tonight Show” with Jay Leno in 2003. As an aside, why is the “Tonight Show” so obsessed with fruitcakes? Jay Leno and Morgan Ford each took a tiny bite and each survived. No word on whether it was tasty but it was, in fact, still edible over one hundred years after the fact. Now Fidelia’s granddaughter, Julie, is the keeper of the cake. It is apparently for display use only these days. I am here to defend fruitcake — at the very least the fruitcake I am familiar with, which is delicious. Fruit cake haters must just be having BAD fruitcakes. Delicious. I am blessed by a dear friend who makes to-die-for fruitcake every December. I know I shouldn’t ever feel entitled but the truth is, I am. I look forward to that fruitcake like a salivating dog. When she appears with her magical basket of vanilla, fruited and nutty goodness to be shared, I can barely contain myself. It is buttery and delicious. I also grew up with good fruitcakes. The secret is probably that they are homemade? Homemade versus store-bought being superior is going to be true for most baked goods. I swear I don’t know that I’ve ever had BAD homemade fruitcakes. I find that people who put their heart and soul into baking and give food as gifts are generally pretty confident in their abilities for good reason. In fact, although gifts are not my “love language,” if we must exchange gifts, I think food gifts should catch on for EVERY holiday. Valentine’s Day already lends itself to food gifts, naturally — candy, chocolates, that sort of thing. I say everything should have an official baked good, candy or themed consumable gift. Birthday? Food! Groundhog day? Food! Arbor Day? Food! I tend to find that if anyone cares enough to give me homemade baked goods and similar gifts, there is nothing better. Fair warning: I’m going to eat it. No one is going to be getting any leftover 100-year-old cake from me. Honestly, I don’t even understand the term “leftover” when it comes to cake.

Webinar to highlight microplastic removal in drinking water COLUMBUS — New research from Ohio Sea Grant, Stone Lab and the Harmful Algal Bloom Research Initiative will be presented at “Microplastic Removal During Drinking Water Treatment” webinar from noon to 12:30 p.m. on Jan. 24. The presence of microplastics in Lake Erie continues to be a growing concern with recent research showing that the tiny plastic particles are abundant throughout the lake and that they pose potential risks to human health and the environment. Since Lake Erie is an important drinking water source for many in Ohio and elsewhere, one question to address is how effective current water treatment processes are in removing microplastics. New research by The Ohio State University’s John Lenhart and his research group is investigating this question in order to determine how effectively certain water treatment processes are in removing microplastics and whether certain configurations are better than others when it comes to microplastics removal. The webinar is free, but registration is required to receive login information. For more information and to register, visit ohioseagrant.osu.edu/ news/calendar/2024/01/24/eny8y/ freshwater-science.

FLASHBACK

By Terry and Kim Kovel

By Mick Harper Collectors know that the line between artistic and utilitarian objects is not always clearly drawn. This large, glazed earthenware plate with two stylized faces in profile sold at a Rago auction for $3,120. At that price, it’s more likely to go on display than on the dinner table. The plate was designed by Viktor Schreckengost for Cowan Pottery in Rocky River, Ohio. Schreckengost worked for Cowan in 1930 until the pottery closed in 1931. He designed Cowan’s famous Jazz Bowl with blue and black art deco designs that create a stylized New York cityscape. The Jazz Bowl is an art piece, but Schreckengost created plenty of practical and utilitarian items, too. He designed dinnerware for Limoges China Company, Salem China Company, Onondaga Pottery and others. Beyond ceramics, he designed chairs, vehicles, toy pedal cars, oscillating fans, radar for pilots and more.

• • • Q. I have my late grandfather’s old trumpet. It’s engraved “Emperor, Made by Boosey & Hawkes, London, Made in England.” Where can I get someone to tell me what it is worth?

A. Boosey & Hawkes started in 1930 when Boosey & Company and Hawkes & Son merged. Both companies made musical instruments and were music publishers. Boosey & Hawkes made musical instruments until 2003 when it sold that part of its business to The Music Group. The company still publishes music. The value of the trumpet depends on the desirability of the instrument, the type of metal, tone quality and condition. Take the trumpet to a music store that sells used musical instruments to see if they can give you a value. If you intend to sell the trumpet, it’s a good idea to take it to more than one music store to get the value. Remember, they will offer you less than what they can sell it for since they need to make a profit.

1. Mad Dogs & Englishmen were the backup band for which artist on their 1970 American tour? 2. Which was bigger: Woodstock or Summer Jam at Watkins Glen? 3.

MOMENTS IN TIME • On Jan. 2, 1919, locksmith and far-right politician Anton Drexler founded the German Workers’ Party, the forerunner of the Nazi Party, in Munich, Germany, from a group that met regularly to discuss political matters. Among other things, the party advocated for nationalism and extreme antisemitism. • On Jan. 3, 1521, Martin Luther was excommunicated from the Roman Catholic Church by Pope Leo X after he failed to recant 41 parts of his Ninety-Five Theses, which started the Protestant Reformation. The pope had called the offending statements heretical, scandalous and offensive to pious ears, though he did

Exhibit features artists affected by the Depression CANTON, Ohio — A New Deal: Artists of the WPA from the Canton Museum of Art’s Permanent Collection highlights the lives of artists who worked for the Works Progress Administration after the Stock Market Crash of 1929, and in doing so, fostered resilience for a struggling nation. Those who visit the exhibit will learn about the projects these artists worked on, the subjects they were interested in and how their lives were affected by the Depression. Each of these artists helped to foster the nation’s spirit and prove that even in the darkest of times, art serves as a uniting force to collectively lead people into a brighter future. The exhibit will be on display until March 3 at the Canton Museum of Art, 1001 Market Ave. N., Canton, Ohio.

1. Joe Cocker. Upward of 20 musicians were in the group. They were named after the Noel Coward song of the same name. 2. Summer Jam, in 1973, saw 600,000 people come through the gates at the Watkins Glen Raceway. 3. Country Joe and the Fish, in 1965. The song was a counterculture protest against the Vietnam War and appeared on their album of the same name. 4. They wrote it to Prudence, the sister of Mia Farrow, who was studying meditation with them in India in 1968, as a way of getting her to stop hiding in her hut. 5. “Stay,” by Maurice Williams & the Zodiacs, in 1960. Songwriter Williams wrote the first version of the song as a teen when he tried to convince a date not to go home yet. (©2023 King Features Synd., Inc.)

The Youngstown Model Railroad Assn. Presents: not specify exactly which ones fell under that category. • On Jan. 4, 1957, the Hamilton Electric 500 watch made its public debut. It was the first timepiece to never need winding (though it did need frequent battery replacement) and came in “modern” asymmetrical designs to reflect its revolutionary technology. Production ended 12 years later with the advanced technology of quartz movements that rendered the “watch of the future” obsolete. • On Jan. 5, 1992, a landslide that occurred near San Francisco killed 33 people and caused the Golden Gate Bridge to close. Heavy rain in the amount of nearly half of the city’s av-

erage annual precipitation had previously fallen for a straight 36 hours • On Jan. 6, 2000, a severe flu outbreak in the United Kingdom caused National Health Service hospitals to be stretched to their limits, leaving many forced to cancel all non-emergency surgeries and facing intensive care bed shortages. The outbreak was blamed on a low rate of flu vaccinations. • On Jan. 7, 1927, the first transatlantic telephone service was established. A three-minute call between New York and London cost about $45, which would translate to roughly $550 today.

Apron exhibit at the Henry Ford Museum (Submitted photo)

ITEM NO. 1262.

•••

DETROIT — The Henry Ford Museum recently opened an apron exhibit, featuring two aprons donated by Farm and Dairy reader Cindee Mines. Aprons can be used to celebrate family bonds and long-standing traditions. Each year, the extended Mines family of Ohio gathered a few weeks before Christmas to bake iced sugar cookies. In the late 1970s, Linda Mines sewed Holly Hobbiethemed aprons for each Mines family cookie maker, including the motherand-daughter set on display, which were created for her sister-in-law Cindee and niece Megan. The exhibit will run through April.

We can always use more items to keep this column going. Please submit items you would like identified to editorial@farmanddairy.com.

Freedom Center helps strike first Harriet Tubman Commemorative Coin PHILADELPHIA — Leaders from the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center participated in a ceremony at the United States Mint to strike the first Harriet Tubman commemorative coins last month. The series of three coins celebrating the iconic Underground Railroad conductor will be available starting Jan.4 with a portion of the proceeds supporting the Freedom Center. The commemorative coins will be available in three denominations, each representing a different era in Tubman’s life. A clad half-dollar coin representing Tubman’s service as a military leader during the Civil War, including the Combahee River Raid that freed over 700 enslaved people. A $1 silver coin celebrating her iconic role as a conductor on the Underground Railroad, guiding enslaved people to freedom. A $5 gold coin depicting Tubman as a humanitarian during the final five decades of her life. Proceeds from the surcharges will support the Freedom Center and Harriet Tubman Home. At the strike ceremony, the Freedom Center was joined by leaders from AME Zion Church and the Harriet Tubman Home in Auburn, New York. The ceremony was led by Ventris C. Gibson, the first African American director of the United States Mint. The coins honoring one of the nation’s iconic freedom heroes are the result of bilateral legislation to celebrate Tubman’s enduring legacy. The Harriet Tubman Bicentennial Commemorative Coin Act was cointroduced in the Senate in 2021 by then-Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, who joined the strike ceremony in Philadelphia as a guest of the Freedom Center, and Sen. Jacky Rosen , D-Nev. and co-introduced in the House by Reps. Gregory Meeks, D-N.Y. and John Katko, R-N.Y.

Leaders from the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center participated in a ceremony at the United States Mint to strike the first Harriet Tubman commemorative coins last month. (Submitted photo)

Also joining the Freedom Center was Damon Jones, chief communications officer of Procter & Gamble and a member of the Freedom Center Board of Directors. The Freedom Center secured P&G as the lead sponsor for this initiative. Harriet Tubman is perhaps the most recognized figure from the era of the Underground Railroad, the clandestine network by which enslaved individuals sought to liberate themselves in the first half of the 19th century. Born into slavery as Araminta “Minty” Ross in March 1822 on a plantation in Maryland, Tubman self-liberated via the Underground Railroad in 1849, crossing from Maryland to the free state of Pennsylvania. She returned to Maryland 13 times over the next decade, leading 70 enslaved people to freedom in Canada. The Harriet Tubman commemorative coins can be purchased individually or as a set directly from the U.S. Mint at catalog.usmint.gov/ or at the Freedom Center at freedomcenter.org/.

Historical status granted to building that housed CompuServe

NORWICH OHIO REAL ESTATE AUCTION

COLUMBUS — A Central Ohio building that once served as the global headquarters for CompuServe has been recognized with historic marker status by the state. At its height in the 1990’s, the pioneering tech company — one of the first to offer commercial internet services — was known by the public for online forums that offered news, message boards and data file transfers. The firm also introduced the GIF image format back in 1987. “This may be the first historical marker about the internet. Most history is not recognized and celebrated in your lifetime, but this is and its really special,” said Ohio Lt. Governor Jon Husted at a dedication event featuring state officials and former CompuServe CEO Jeff Wilkins. “Today we have a vibrant, growing tech economy in the state of Ohio. And it began right here.” The company opened its headquarters in 1973 and, according to records housed at the Columbus Metropolitan Library, closed the location in the summer of 2006. Ohio’s historical markers program, started in the 1953, commemorates unique sites that shape state history. Wilkins, who co-founded CompuServe in 1969, also attempted settle a classic internet argument over the pronunciation of the GIF image format at the dedication. He recalled a story about how Steve Wilhite, the engineer who helped create the format, once held up a sign at an awards ceremony read: “It’s pronounced JIF.”

A December to forget

Eric Keller

Comfortably Dumb I have received some inquiries about my lapse in writing lately. But while trying to explain the situation even to family and friends, I find myself without the vocabulary to describe it. Recently at a doctor’s appointment with my wife, the man politely asked her, “How did the mouse get into the water softener?” Realizing that the dumbfounded expression on my face didn’t convey

the story that flashed through my mind, this was my attempt to answer that question. What follows is a series of stories that detail the events that transpired this December on the homestead … The silence was deafening. It was only 3 o’clock in the morning, but there was a curiosity that malingered in the air. It aroused me from the deepest sleep and got me out of bed. Quickly, I began investigating. What could this be? There was an odor, pungent and painful. It felt like my airway was being attacked. I looked around the room, but nothing was out of sorts. She was sleeping and so should I. I laid down, hoping that my reaction was unwarranted or at least exaggerated. Perhaps the stress of the holidays was taking its toll. Anticipating family gatherings can increase my stress and tax my coping mechanisms. I’m no stranger to nightmares, but this seemed surreal at best. I wish I could describe the feeling that I had, but again, I was awake. The oppressive stench overcame my senses, and I quickly lost sight of

where I was, who I was or whether it was a dream. I’m not sure when it began, but I found myself going downstairs, like a bad horror movie. I wasn’t sure if I would meet some demonic spirit of Christmas past or if I would just find myself sleepwalking in a horrible dream. Closer and closer, I crept towards the source. Sniffing and smelling, between the hazy fog, I couldn’t tell if my eyes were just tired or if the whole room was filled with some sort of noxious gas. As I walked around the basement, the scent became more distinct. It was a potent smell. It poisoned the airway, making it difficult to breathe and see. But I still couldn’t see what it was or where it was coming from. A low hiss came from the corner where the sump pump was, and I was able to immediately identify the source. It was putrid, repulsive, overbearing and, yet, I just stared at it. Blankly I continued to stare, not knowing what to do or how to do it. I tried holding my breath, but I couldn’t. It was like an onslaught

on my olfactory system. It hurt to breathe at this point. My eyes were itching and burning. I looked away and ran upstairs. Panting, I began panting, longing for fresh air, as though it would cure me. I found myself standing on the back porch in freezing temperatures, in only my underwear. I didn’t care how cold it was, it was the crisp fresh air that made me feel alive again, as though I hadn’t been. The intense encounter with whatever was trying to kill me sucked the life out of my body. My soul was tarnished, my lungs were poisoned, and my eyes were burning. Whatever it was, I didn’t like it. Living the dream is the ultimate goal, but nightmares are dreams too. There were no answers, no explanations, and there was no understanding of what was or what would come of it. I was violated, my senses were attacked, and I only found refuge in the cold winter air... To be continued. (Eric Keller is a veteran, husband, proud father of four, nurse and first-generation homesteader who can be reached at happyrootshomesteadohio@gmail.com.)

OPSB approves gas pipeline in Butler County COLUMBUS — The Ohio Power Siting Board approved Duke Energy Ohio’s proposal to replace 5.1 miles of natural gas pipeline in the city of Monroe and Liberty and Lemon townships in Butler County. The Butler County Phase 2 Natural Gas Pipeline will connect the utility’s existing Dicks Creek, Yankee and Butler stations. Other news. The OPSB granted, in part, and denied, in part, applications for rehearing filed by various parties regarding the adoption of new administrative rules on all areas of OPSB jurisdiction, including the development of solar energy projects. The rules, found in Ohio Administrative Code Chapters 4906-1 through 4906-7, will be submitted to the Joint Committee on Agency Rule Review for review before taking effect. The board also granted requests to transfer ownership of the interconnection switchyards for the Madison Fields Solar facility in Madison County to American Transmission Systems, Inc. and the Nestlewood Solar facility in Brown and Clermont counties to Duke Energy Ohio.

Biden believes U.S. Steel sale warrants ‘serious scrutiny,’ White House says By Zeke Miller and Fatima Hussein Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden believes “serious scrutiny” is warranted for the planned acquisition of U.S. Steel by Japan’s Nippon Steel, the White House said Dec. 21 after days of silence on a transaction that has drawn alarm from the steelworkers union. Lael Brainard, the director of the National Economic Council, indicated the deal would be reviewed by the secretive Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, which she participates in and includes economic and national security agency representatives to investigate national security risks from foreign investments in American firms. She said in a statement that Biden “believes the purchase of this iconic American-owned company by a foreign entity — even one from a close ally — appears to deserve serious scrutiny in terms of its potential impact on national security and supply chain reliability.” “This looks like the type of transaction that the interagency Committee on Foreign Investment Congress empowered and the Biden administration strengthened is set up to carefully investigate,” she said. “This administration will be ready to look carefully at the findings of any such investigation and to act if appropriate.” Under the terms of the approximately $14.1 billion all-cash deal announced Dec. 18, U.S. Steel will keep its name and its headquarters in Pittsburgh, where it was founded in 1901 by J.P. Morgan and Andrew Carnegie. It will become a subsidiary of Nippon. The combined company will be among the top three steelproducing companies in the world, according to 2022 figures from the World Steel Association. Chaired by Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, the CFIUS screens business deals between U.S. firms and foreign investors and can block sales or force parties to change the terms of an agreement to protect national security. United Steelworkers International, which endorsed Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign, swiftly opposed the new transaction. The union “remained open throughout this process to working with U.S. Steel to keep this iconic American company domestically owned and operated, but instead it chose to push aside the concerns of its dedicated workforce and sell to a foreign-owned company,” said David McCall, president of United Steelworkers, in a statement after the transaction was announced, adding that the union wasn’t consulted in advance of the announcement. “We also will strongly urge government regulators to carefully scrutinize this acquisition and determine if the proposed transaction serves the national security interests of the United States and benefits workers,” he added. Political allies of Biden in Pennsylvania also objected to the sale this week, and released statements pressing Nippon to make commitments to keep U.S. Steel’s workers, plants and headquarters in the state. Some also described it as the latest example of profit-hungry executives selling out American workers to a foreign company.

Repurposing your Christmas tree

Tami Gingrich Shortly after Thanksgiving, I shared some photos of my husband at the tree farm, dragging our freshly cut Christmas tree through the snow. A friend told me it reminded her of a scene right out of Currier and Ives. I had to agree. There is something so rewarding about cutting your own tree. The thorough search through rows and rows of evergreens, the scrutinization of which tree has the most handsome shape, the biting

cold that eventually creeps into your fingers and toes, the effort of cutting and dragging it back to the vehicle and don’t forget the smell — oh the sweet smell! We haven’t had much snow this year, but by gosh, it snowed the day before we went to get our tree and melted the day after. How fortuitous was that? Live v. artificial. There is much debate over hosting a live versus an artificial tree. Artificial is safer, less of a fire hazard. The same tree can be utilized year after year. Some feel that by using an artificial tree, they are saving the life of a real one. The fact is, most Christmas trees are grown on farms, much like crops, for the purpose of being harvested. When these trees are cut down, new ones are replanted yearly in their place. Actually, very few evergreens are removed from federal forests, an activity that is closely regulated by the U.S. Forest Service. Real trees are biodegradable, making them more sustainable. Sadly, artificial trees can

take hundreds of years to decompose when placed in landfills. I’m not here to tell you which kind you should have. If you can’t decide, you can always have one of each. My 95-year-old mom still has a live tree in her family room and an artificial one her living room, a tradition that I have known since as long as I can remember. Repurposing your tree. Probably the best argument for having a live tree, is that there are so many ways that it can be repurposed after Christmas. Start by calling your local park or soil and water conservation district. These organizations often have conservation projects underway and can use the trees to aid in their work. Christmas trees can be used in stream revetment operations to rehabilitate or stabilize banks. They can also be dragged out onto lake/pond ice. Heavy cinder blocks or rocks tied to the trunks will help them to sink to the bottom as the ice (Continued on Page B3)

A WRANGLER’S RECKLESS WRITINGS

Moose amore Daisy perked her ears up. We both heard the awful noise. She stared out in the darkness, tail straight up and rigid poise. The time was 2 a.m., her early ritual each morn. She’d usually sniff around before her morning ground adorn. But this morning all her sniffing was directed to the dark. The sniffing was short lived and then she gave a single bark. I heard her growl but then she made a beeline back to me. I guess she must have thought it was the safest place to be. John Enos was honored for 50 years of service on the Guernsey SWCD board of supervisors at the district’s annual meeting. (Submitted photo)

Guernsey SWCD honors John Enos for 50 years of service OLD WASHINGTON, Ohio — Guernsey Soil and Water Conservation District hosted its 81st Annual Meeting and Election on Nov. 2. At the meeting, attendees honored the late John Enos for his work on Guernsey SWCD upon his retirement. Enos served on the Guernsey SWCD board of supervisors for 50 years, beginning his journey in 1973. He served as director of the Board of Trustees of GuernseyMuskingum Electric Co-op for roughly 30 years. Enos and his wife owned and operated J&K Angus Meat Processing Farm where they have an Angus cow-calf herd. He was a lifelong resident of Guernsey County and was involved with several community organizations including serving as an elder and trustee of the Mt. Presbyterian Church, Market Beef Committee Chair, Guernsey County Farm Bureau, American Angus Association, 4H Advisory Committee, Muskingum Watershed Joint Board and the Meat Packers Association. Enos passed away on Dec. 10. “We cannot thank John enough for all his hard work, dedication and wealth of knowledge he has contributed to the district for the last 50 years. We will miss him dearly and wish his family our deepest sympathies and condolences,” Guernsey SWCD said, in a statement. Elections and awards. Additionally, elections took place at the meeting. Ken Ford was re-elected for another three-year term and Art Tripp was newly elected and will begin his first term on Jan. 1. Awards were also handed out, including the 2023 Cooperator of the Year award given to Jim and Janet Roberts. A family farm steeming back 200 years, the Roberts have

Your first thought is to go and help or maybe grab your gun. Now you’re doubting ‘bout the food chain. Are you really number one? They say a 12 gauge shotgun says a lot, if you can see. But darkness always trumps and you might be their fricassee. So we listened to best judgment, turned around and went inside. And hoped by early daylight the poor animal had died. The night was long. I don’t believe I ever went to sleep. My father always kidded, “Try your luck at counting sheep?” But every time a sheep would jump above me in the air. He’d end up being breakfast to a wolf or hungry bear. Daylight finally showed and I was worn out from the night. Was I ready for the morning, maybe see a horrid sight? I checked my 12 gauge shotgun. Slapped my face to be aware. Alert and oriented going in loaded for bear. At long last we were ready. My wife and Daisy set the pace. We would be there in a minute. It didn’t need to be a race. We could see the willows moving as we came around the bend. We saw the cow moose first, and then her antlered bull boyfriend. We stopped dead in our tracks, while they stared right back at us. Then I thought of last night’s moaning. Why did I make all the fuss? It was that time of year, the rut, moose searching out a mate. And I’m doggone sure the lonely moose were out there on a date. At first, we kinda giggled then a full-out belly laugh. And hoped with any luck we’d get to see their next year’s calf.

melts, creating important fish habitat. Think about contacting your local township to see if they are collecting trees to turn into mulch. If you offer seed to the birds, consider placing your spent tree near the feeding area. Whether you secure it to something, allowing it to remain in a vertical position, or leave it on its side, the dense foliage will provide quick cover for your birds when danger such as a hungry Cooper’s hawk shows up on the scene. When nasty winter weather hits, you will see your birds utilizing the thick branches to protect themselves from the elements and stay warm. You can also redecorate your tree using a variety of feeders. Hang a suet feeder, decorate with strands of plain Cheerios and cranberries, or better yet, cut a section of the tree’s trunk, drill some holes, and fill it with peanut butter, creating a new feeder. If you decorate your Christmas tree with tinsel, make sure that all the strands are removed before placing it outside, as animals may try to eat it, causing internal damage. I like to clip off some of the branches of my tree to use as a form of mulch in my garden. Placing them in raised beds containing asparagus or garlic will help protect the roots of these plants as winter takes hold. They also provide shelter for the pollinators, and the

needles help build the soil as they break down. It is actually a myth that pine needles turn the soil more acidic. Yes, the needles are acidic when they initially drop from the trees, but in this capacity, they don’t have much ability to lower the pH, as they become neutralized when decomposed. If you have an artsy streak, you can certainly find ways to recycle your tree. One of the most popular ways is to remove all the branches and cut up the trunk into thin slices. These slices, when dried, can be made into handsome sets of coasters or used as woodburning proj-

How to take care of poinsettias and Christmas cactuses By Linc Coffin In order to care for indoor holiday plants, first consider some houseplant basics. Plants in small pots dry out quickly. Most homes have a low relative humidity during the postholiday heating season, so adequate watering is crucial. Overwatering is just as harmful as underwatering. Houseplants should not be watered until the soil is dry to the touch. Check for this daily, then apply water till some drains from the bottom of the pot. Discard water that drains through the pot. Protect your furniture with a saucer or a plastic lid slightly larger than the pot. Remove foil from gift plants and make sure there are drain holes in the bottom of the pot. Like you and me, most plants do not like wet feet. Lighting is also important to houseplants. Put your gift plants where they will get high levels of indirect light. Low light levels will lead to the demise of most houseplants. You may want to consider supplemental lighting for your holiday plants. Your normal household temperatures (60 to 75 F) are sufficient

for most plants. High temperatures (75°F or higher) will shorten the life of your plants, while cooler temperatures (60 to 65 F) will lengthen their life. Avoid rapidly changing temperatures and keep the plants away from drafts and heating vents. Now, let’s review the Christmas cactus. These plants are succulents and easy to care for. While they are blooming, they like the soil moist, but not soggy; remember not to overwater. Keep the room temperature warm, the light bright, but indirect and the soil well-drained. When blooms have faded, move the plant to a cool room (50 F) and reduce watering to a minimum. When buds begin to reappear, move the plant back to the warmer room, resume watering and lightly fertilize. Bud drop may indicate a draft or sudden temperature change. Bud drop may also signal a need for repotting or that the room temperature is too high. Christmas cacti seldom flower well at temperatures above 70 F. A poinsettia is a bit more difficult to care for than the Christmas cactus. Poinsettias prefer bright, indirect light, and like the Christmas cactus, must be kept from drafts and rapid temperature changes. When

the soil starts to feel dry, water, but do not let the plant sit in water. Room temperatures should be 65 to 70 F during the day and about 10 degrees cooler at night. While the plant is growing, apply a 10-10-10 fertilizer every two weeks. To initiate flowering, on or about Oct. 1, give the plant 14 hours of complete darkness every day until the bract color is well developed (around mid-November). Any light during the dark period will delay or inhibit flowering. You can cover the plant with a box or put it in a closet to ensure complete darkness. During the rest of the day, give the plant plenty of indirect light. Here is an interesting poinsettia fact. If you live in USDA hardiness zones 10 to 12 (certainly not our zone 6), you can grow poinsettias outdoors. They can grow up to 10 feet tall. Finally, if you have too many plants, or don’t have the time or inclination to care for them, consider passing them on to homebound folks or friends who might find them a cheerful addition to their day.

Municipalities, townships, counties and other governmental agencies can apply for single grants of up to $75,000 through Jan. 31.

New H2Ohio program to address salt pollution from roads COLUMBUS — Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine and Ohio Environmental Protection Agency Director Anne M. Vogel announced that funding is now available to help local communities improve road salt storage and distribution practices in a manner that reduces salt pollution in Ohio’s waterways. The H2Ohio Chloride Reduction Grant Program will award a total of approximately $1 million in funding to local municipalities for equipment upgrades that will prevent the overapplication of salt on Ohio roads and reduce the amount of salt running off into Ohio’s streams, rivers and lakes. According to the Ohio EPA, heavy salt runoff is toxic to aquatic life and can also pollute drinking water sources, leading to higher treat-

using road deicer salts to follow best management practices, apply less salt, and use best available technologies for applying salt. ODOT maintains 42,667 lane miles of state and U.S. routes outside municipalities and all interstates, except the Ohio Turnpike, and primarily applies a salt brine solution to roads during cold weather months. The solution, made up of 23% salt and 77% tap water, allows salt to be applied more precisely and efficiently compared to traditional rock salt, which tends to scatter or get plowed off to the side of the roadway. Since the winter of 2018-2019, ODOT’s salt usage per lane mile has dropped from 22.5 tons to 9.37 tons, a decrease of 240%. For more information on the H2Ohio initiative, visit h2.ohio.gov.

Farm and Dairy would like to remind you to

SELL SMART.

BEWARE OF POTENTIAL BUYING SCAMS Here are two situations where you need to be alarmed and vigilant 1. If the buyer of your equipment refuses to speak to you over the phone or in-person. Most buying scams happen via text messages and/or email. 2. If the buyer sends you a check in an amount HIGHER than the agreed upon price of your equipment, and then asks you (the seller) to refund the overpayment via wire transfer.
