New grant program to boost ways to get organic products to market

SCOTUS backs Calif. law for more space for pigs

By Rachel Wagoner rachel@farmanddairy.com

The U.S. Supreme Court on May 11 upheld California’s right to forbid the sale of pork in the state unless farmers abide by its animal welfare rules.

The ruling in favor of California’s Proposition 12, which requires more space for breeding pigs, will “increase prices for consumers and drive small farms out of business,” said Scott Hays, president of the National Pork Producers Council, one of the groups that brought the case to the highest court in the land.

GIBSONIA, Pa. — Jenny Lester Moffitt knows better than most how challenging it can be to transition a farm to organic production. Her father went organic with their walnut farm in California when she was a child.

“He converted to organic ... by the time he got certified, he realized, ‘There’s no one to process my walnuts and I don’t have a market to bring my product to,’” Moffitt said, at a press conference May 12 in western Pennsylvania to announce the opening of the $75 million Organic Market Development Grant Program.

Moffitt is the undersecretary for marketing and regulatory programs at the U.S.

Department of Agriculture, but before that, she ran the family farm with her father for a decade. There’s a growing demand for organic agricultural products, but there are crucial steps missing between the farm field and the customer, she said.

Moffit said her father rented older processing equipment for a few years before he could afford to buy the equipment to process their organic walnuts. He had to take on these steps on his own, but he isn’t alone in this journey. It’s one many organic farmers

Phosphate tariff contributes to supply shortages

By Gail Keck Contributing Writer

In April, as soon as their fields were fit, the Settlemyre family started spreading fertilizer on the land they farm in Warren, Highland and Clinton counties. Then they found out the phosphorus they had ordered wasn’t available.

“We were blessed with an early, dry window from about April the 12th to April the 20th, so we were going at it hard and heavy,”

John Settlemyre said.

They expected the job to take about 12 days, but five days into that application window, their supplier called to say they were out of MAP, or 11-52-0 monoammonium phosphate. The Settlemyres were not the only ones affected by a disruption in phosphate supplies this spring, said Tadd Nicholson, executive director for the Ohio Corn and Wheat Growers Association.

take when finding a pathway to market their products, Moffitt said.

“They first get into organic because they’re passionate about it,” she said. “They’re learning about the production practices and then realizing, ‘I need a market because we can’t sustain our operations if we don’t have a market for that.’”

Grant program. That’s what the Organic Market Development Grant Program aims to fix. Up to $75 million competitive grants are

A majority of the high court — Justices Neil Gorsuch, Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, Amy Coney Barrett and Clarence Thomas — agreed that lower courts had correctly dismissed pork producers’ challenge to the law, but the justices were not united in their reasoning.

Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Samuel Alito, Brett Kavanaugh and Kentanji Brown Jackson dissented, saying the law should have been kept alive and the case should have been sent back to lower courts for more work.

Redding confirmed to serve again as Pennsylvania ag secretary

By Farm and Dairy staff

HARRISBURG, Pa. — The Pennsylvania Senate unanimously confirmed Russell Redding to serve as Pennsylvania’s 27th Secretary of Agriculture on May 10. Gov. Josh Shapiro nominated Redding, who previously served as agriculture secretary under Govs. Tom Wolf and Ed Rendell.

“It is an honor and privilege to serve Pennsylvania under Governor Josh Shapiro’s dedicated leadership,” Redding said, in his confirmation testimony. “Since our first conversation, I have been struck by his energy, experience and vision for Pennsylvania and for agriculture.

“I have dedicated my life to agriculture and public service, working to advance an industry that is at the center of some of the most impor-

tant issues of our time, and shapes the quality of life for every Pennsylvanian.”

Redding led the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture through highs and lows during the Wolf administration. This includes the launch of the Pennsylvania Farm Bill, a first-of-its-kind program that’s invested more than $50 million into various state-level agricultural programs since its inception in 2019.

It also includes responding to the first bird flu outbreak in Pennsylvania in nearly 40 years, which has killed more than 4.6 million domesticated birds in the state in the past year. Of 47 states hit by the outbreak, Pennsylvania is the only state to dedicate a $25 million recovery fund to helping poultry producers cover their losses.

Redding is a Pennsylvania native

and grew up on his family’s dairy farm. He earned a bachelor’s in agriculture education and master’s in agriculture and extension education from Penn State University. He and his wife Nina have two adult sons and own and operate a farm in Gettysburg.

Redding has extensive experience as a public servant, having spent more than 30 years serving Pennsylvania in Harrisburg and Washington D.C. He worked on Capitol Hill as ag policy advisor to U.S. Sen. Harris Wofford and served for nearly 25 years in the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture. He currently serves on the Agriculture subcommittee of the USDA’s Equity Commission. Redding is also the former dean of the School of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences at Delaware Valley University.

Minn. man pleads guilty in organic fraud

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A Minnesota man pleaded guilty to selling conventionally grown crops as certified organic produce in a scheme the federal prosecutors said brought in $19 million in profits.

James Clayton Wolf, 65, of Cottonwood County, pleaded guilty Friday to one count of wire fraud after admitting that he sold the im-

properly labeled crops to a buyer in Pennsylvania.

As part of the plea deal, Wolf will be required to pay $19 million in restitution.

Federal prosecutors initially charged Wolf and a co-defendant, Adam Clifford Olson, with three counts of wire fraud and one count of conspiracy. They alleged the men, both certified organic farmers, ran

the scheme between 2014 and 2021, and it netted $46 million. Olson’s case is continuing in the court system. Certified organic crops generally bring in higher prices because they are raised without chemical applications, such as herbicides.

New grant program to boost ways to get organic products to market

(Continued from Page A1)

open to fund projects to expand and improve markets for domesticallyproduced organic goods.

All markets are eligible, but Moffitt said they are focusing in particular on projects that support organic grains and livestock feed, rotational crops, fibers, dairy, legumes and ingredients.

An example of a project could be developing a use and market for field crops other than corn and soybeans that are commonly used in organic rotations. That’s a barrier for some farmers to get into organic production, is rotating through a crop for which there isn’t a strong market.

Sourcing domestic organic grain is a major challenge not only for livestock farmers who need feed for their animals, but also for makers of processed goods that need organic ingredients.

Applications for the program are open through July 11.

Where. The backdrop for the press conference was Chatham University’s Eden Hall Campus, a former vacation farm for the Heinz

family turned satellite campus for the Pittsburgh-based college.

The campus is home to the Falk School of Sustainability and Environment and the Center for Regional Agriculture, Food and Transformation program.

Moffitt, Pennsylvania Agriculture

Secretary Russell Redding and other university partners toured some of the Eden Hall agricultural facilities, including a year-round solar greenhouse and the aquaculture lab, during their visit May 12.

The university’s farm operations — which includes an apiary, maple syrup production and mushroom cultivation — are certified organic. Food produced at the student-led farms goes to the campus’s dining hall and is given to students, staff and faculty.

Why. The market development program is the third phase of USDA’s plan to support farmers transitioning to organic production. The Organic Transition Initiative put $300 million towards providing farmers direct financial and technical assistance, connecting farmers with local mentors and other resources and market development.

According to a USDA release, consumer demand for organically produced goods surpassed $67 billion in 2022.

Pennsylvania, in particular, has seen significant growth in organic sales in the past several years, with Pennsylvania farms producing and selling $1.09 billion in organic commodities in 2021. That’s up from $742 million in organic sales in 2019. That puts Pennsylvania behind only California and Washington in value of organic sales. Most of that growth came from organic poultry sales.

The number of certified organic farms across the country has consistently grown since the USDA began conducting the Certified Organic Survey in 2008. At that time there were 10,903 organic farms nationwide. Now, there are 17,445. The sale of organic commodities hit $11.2 billion in 2021, an increase of 13% from $9.9 billion in 2019. The top commodities were milk, broiler chickens, eggs, apples and corn for grain.

The number in the headline was practically unbelievable. “About 18,000 Cattle Are Killed in Fire at Dairy Farm in Texas,” reported the New York Times on April 13.

The then-known facts — very few have been forthcoming since — were sparse: Around 7 p.m. on April 10, a fire roared through a dairy barn near Dimmit, TX, “where thousands of dairy cows,” mostly Holsteins and Jerseys, had been “crowded together waiting to be milked, trapped in deadly confines,” noted USA Today.

The “deadly confines” were not, in any sense, confining. In fact, “if each animal stood 3 to 4 feet apart,” explained the newspaper, the 18,000 cows that died in the fire were “enough to cover 26 football fields.”

Imagine that hellscape: 26 roofed, wall-to-wall football fields ablaze with burning, bellowing Holstein and Jersey cows and there’s nothing any man or beast could do but stand and watch it all burn.

While the massive scale of the Dimmitt fire may be unprecedented in U.S. agricultural history, as numerous press outlets reported at the time, mega-death events in today’s industrial scale livestock production are not.

But, noted Vox in its reporting on the Texas fire, “The true number is likely significantly higher… because not all states have the same reporting requirements, and because farm animals are property with essentially no legal protection from suffering.”

Moreover, “fires at livestock and poultry production and storage properties are quite common,” it continued. The biggest reason, Vox noted in quoting the National Fire Protection Association, is that “Animal farms don’t have the same fire codes and safety requirements as buildings designed for humans,” like alarms and sprinklers.

That’s incomprehensible given the staggering costs in both loss of life and property of these catastrophic fires.

For example, Bob Cropp, a professor emeritus and former dairy marketing and policy extension specialist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, estimates that the Texas fire cost its owners somewhere between $27 million and $36 million in cows alone. Property losses mean “You can probably double that” to come up with a “total rough estimate” of $55 million in losses.

planation of why this industrialized dairy even existed characterizes one of the most important, and deadly, tenets of U.S. farm policy: We do almost anything — overproduce, subsidize, deplete natural resources, endanger animals, break federal employment laws, and empty rural America — just for the chance to sell “more” overseas.

and Dairy P.O. Box 38, Salem, Ohio 44460-0038

For example, a “merciless” January 2016 blizzard in west Texas and eastern New Mexico killed an estimated 35,000 dairy cows, many buried in “snow drifts as high as 14 feet,” reported the Times.

But other livestock and poultry operations, mostly housed in barns engineered to both protect animals from the weather and improve their productivity, have suffered even greater losses. According to the Animal Welfare Institute, 6 million chickens, 151,800 pigs, 194,400 turkeys, and 192,400 cattle died in fires on U.S. farms between January 2013 and January 2022.

But the “Real question agriculture needs to ask itself,” Cropp poses, isn’t how you prevent these massive, devastating fires but “why would you even build a dairy operation this size? After a couple of thousand cows, there’s little to no more efficiency to be gained by going bigger.”

The Texas dairy, according to state Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller, had one, very American market: the world. “‘It is my understanding,” Miller told a Lubbock, Texas media outlet April 20, “‘that the milk went to… make powdered milk, and most of that powdered milk is exported.”

Miller didn’t know it, but his ex-

As such, the milk powder wasn’t the actual product the Texas CAFO (concentrated animal feeding operation) was selling abroad. The deal’s key ingredient to make the milk–that was then removed to make the milk powder–was the real export, the dirt cheap water from the ever-shrinking Ogallala Aquifer required by the dairy.

But few Americans ever talk about the actual costs of our costly livestock and poultry CAFO culture. Instead, we choose — ironically — to glorify its cheapness.

In the meantime, we burn irreplaceable parts of it to the ground. (The Farm and Food File is published weekly throughout the U.S. and Canada. Past columns, supporting documents, and contact information are posted at farmandfoodfile. com.)

Inspired by a determined woman

By Judith Sutherland

While sorting through a basket filled with my old notebooks, I ran across a questionnaire from my school years. Though I couldn’t find a mention of which grade I was in when this was completed, a good guess is that I would have been about 12 or 13 years old.

Get Social With Us!

Asked to rank future professions on my wish list, I aimed big. Astronaut, doctor, teacher were all circled without hesitation, because, why not?

Read It Again

90 years ago this week. Corn root maggots are responsible for the spread of Stewart’s disease of sweet corn in Ohio. This is the discovery of A.L. Pierstorff, plant pathologist for the Ohio State University.

50 years ago this week. The sale of a 2.5-acre tract of land adjacent to Salem Plaza as site of a new nursing home was approved by the Salem City Planning Commission. The land owners, Robert and Bruce Capel and Don Santee, are to provide the city zoning officer a copy of the agreement between them and Health Care Fund of Lima, which will construct the facility for Hutton Nursing Home.

25 years ago this week. Outgoing chapter president Jon Scott was honored as winner of the State Star Agribusinessman Award when the Marlington FFA Chapter held its annual awards banquet at the Marlington Middle School.

But in paragraph form, this is what I had written as my future goals. “My best job would be to talk to people who have really cool jobs and have them tell me all about their life. I would write it all down and then write stories about all that they tell me. That would be the best thing I could ever think of doing.” The thought of my own byline on top of this fun was a dream beyond imagining.

I was born for storytelling. The best way to learn to be a storyteller is to love to listen. I’m not sure how old I was when I first started taking notes, but I do know that I began keeping a journal when I was in grade school. My mother, who kept a journal and loved to write long and newsy letters to friends and relatives, encouraged my fascination with the written word.

Memorable story. One of my first and most memorable stories was published in our local newspaper when I was in my first year of high school. The notes for that interview

were in the same basket as the school questionnaire.

I interviewed a woman who had been turned down repeatedly by Ringling Brothers’ clown college. Finally, in 1970, she was accepted. She was interviewed by Barbara Walters and appeared on the Mike Douglas show after becoming Ringling’s first woman clown.

Having been a creative child, Maudie Bayless took jobs as a Good Humor ice cream lady, car hop, switchboard operator. She described being drawn to circus life. She saw herself as living a split personality of sorts as an adult. She was one part responsible parent, the other a circus clown traveling 15,000 miles a year.

She had met her husband, a tiger groomer and trainer, and they decided to settle down and have a baby. When their daughter was only 7 months old, he died of cancer. She had no idea how to go on. “But, the first time the circus came to town, I said to my mom and my little girl, ‘let’s go!’”

She described the pay as good, considering having no bills. Meals and gas are provided on the road, and working 7 days a week suits her fine “because it never feels like work.”

Typical mom. As we talked, I recall she seemed the typical mom. But when 4:30 showtime drew closer, Mrs. Bayless became Flip the Clown. The transformation was spellbinding. In full clown makeup, purple hair and big green shoes, this creature seemed miles away from the human form. She had outlasted many performers who lacked her ability to

transform into the magical.

Driving her own trailer which doubled as a home, the days kicked off at 5 a.m. when the crew packed up and moved on to the next booking. When the school year rolled around, Flip’s 11-year-old daughter was sent to Irving, Texas, to live with her aunt, while her mother and grandmother remained on the road until the 4-month winter shutdown. They would reunite in Texas.

This spunky clown told me she had no desire to quit clowning. “You watch those kids light up and it’s all worth it. I hope to still be doing this 10, 20, 30 years from now. Sink roots and live just to pay bills? No thanks.”

The story of a determined woman clown may have been my first written account shared with others. I knew in my bones it would not be my last. Not if I had an ounce of the same pluck that Flip the Clown carried.

Phosphate tariff contributes to supply shortages

(Continued from Page A1)

Shortage. The phosphate market in the U.S. is dominated by one supplier, which gives farmers, co-ops and other retailers few options for purchasing phosphate products. In 2021, when the International Trade Commission first imposed tariffs on phosphate fertilizers from Morocco, Ohio farm leaders were concerned about the price increases farmers would bear.

Fertilizer prices were already increasing and the tariff would only add to the increases. But higher prices aren’t the only problem farmers are seeing, Nicholson said.

“It’s also a supply issue,” he said.

More than 80% of the phosphate used on U.S. farms comes from one supplier, the Mosaic Co.

“When you have 80% of the market and you successfully block the largest importer from sending it in, you’re basically protecting yourself

to say we’re going to be the only game in town,” Nicholson said.

Having so much of the supply provided by one company gives co-ops and other retailers limited options when supplies get tight, Nicholson said. “They have very few phone numbers to call when they want to order phosphate.”

Widespread. This spring, phosphate supplies were tight throughout the state and shortages were reported across southwest Ohio between Cincinnati and South Charleston, Nicholson said. That area gets shipments from Mosaic into a few terminals along the Ohio River.

Flooding also contributed to the shortage in southwest Ohio because barge traffic was slowed. Then, good farming weather and a rush of field work in April depleted supplies before additional shipments were due.

ODNR sponsors forestry field day for teachers

COLUMBUS — The Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Forestry invites teachers to join them for the 18th annual Teacher Field Days, to be held at Hocking State Forest, June 15-16.

The theme for this year is “Stranger Things in the Woods” where educators will learn from experts about many of the oddities found in forests. Session topics will include symbiotic relationships, mushrooms, tree galls and insects, and there will also be an interpretive day hike, a night hike (owl calls, history, ghost stories, moths, bats) and a Project Learning Tree Pre-K-12 Educator Workshop.

The field day includes PLT activities that can be used in educational settings. PLT is an environmental education program that is part of the Sustainable Forestry Initiative and is

sponsored in Ohio by the Ohio Division of Forestry. It focuses on getting students engaged in their environment and invested in their forests, and it is a great resource for an educator’s toolbox.

Registration is required for the Teacher Field Days. There is a onetime $25 mail-in non-refundable preregistration, which includes lunches. The deadline for registration is June 2.

Teachers who participate and complete a follow-up assignment are eligible to purchase graduate credit.

The Ohio Division of Forestry’s Teacher Field Days have served hundreds of educators, and thousands of students have benefited from the information they have gained. For more information or questions, email plt@dnr.ohio.gov.

GTCPS Gun Show

pliers in the market would help mitigate such problems, Nicholson said. “We don’t have another phosphorus supplier to help out those locations when there are disruptions like this.”

An appeal challenging the Moroccan phosphate tariff is pending with the ITC, and the ag industry is waiting for a decision, Nicholson said, adding that the decision was supposed to be handed down in August 2022.

Making do. As it is, farmers are

left to make do. To keep running, the Settlemyres ended up shifting to another product that has a lower phosphorus content and 10% sulfur.

“So, it’s a lower concentration of phosphate and the cost per unit is about 25% higher than MAP,” Settlemyre said. “It basically added about $35,000 to our fertilizer cost for this spring from that shift.”

Like many farmers, the Settlemyres prefer to apply fertilizer in the spring rather than the fall. Putting

nutrients out close to planting time makes them available when the crops need them and helps protect water quality, Settlemyre said. Supply shortages make it more difficult, however, to complete field work during the short windows available in the spring.

He’d like to see a broader supply chain so that when one supplier has a shortage, there would be several other suppliers to keep products available during peak seasons.

Bearish grain markets not helped by USDA

By Marlin Clark

Last week, I speculated that the bounce we were seeing might finally be the bottom on prices. Then again, it could just be a short recovery. A week later, it looks like it was a short recovery!

Grain traders used somewhat bearish U.S. Department of Agriculture reports May 12 and continued fast planting by Midwest farmers to justify a return near the lows for corn and a new low for soybean contracts May 12.

July corn futures had made a low May 2 of $5.78 1/4, crashing through the magic $6 level. After trading as high as $6 again May 8 and gaining 12 cents over last week, we found a new low at $5.80 3/4 May 11, just two cents off the previous low.

We recovered slightly to trade at almost $5.90 here as this was being written at midnight May 16.

December corn futures lost 26 cents last week, and the May 9th low of $5.16 1/4 held. We were most recently trading at $5.15 3/4, up fractionally. We have also gained back

the losses of the days after the USDA reports.

July soybeans lost 46 cents last week and actually made new lows, at $13.88 1/2 May 12, after the USDA reports. We closed the day with a 15 1/2 cent loss. We recovered the evening of May 15 to a current $13.99 1/2.

We see similar changes in November soybean futures. The low came May 12 at $12.21 3/4. That compares with $14.27 3/4 for a high the last day of trading in 2022. November futures lost 56 cents last week. By the numbers. The fundamental reasons for this price action we can dig out of the USDA numbers. Uncle Sugar cut the old crop export number by 75 mbu, which raised the 2023-2024 carryout to 2.222 billion bushels. That would be, if realized, the second-largest in recent history (since CCC storage days of the 80s), and not good for prices.

The USDA is looking for a yield average of 180 bpa, so with the assumed acres, we would produce over 15 billion bushels of corn to add to what we carry in. To add to the pain, exports have slowed, and it seems we are unlikely to meet the USDA estimates.

The standout number to me from the soybean portion of the USDA reports was the 2023-2024 carryout estimate that is now 334 mbu. That is not a lot, but it is the largest in four years.

MIDEAST MARKETING AREA

It is small enough that some growing problems could change the market quickly, maybe in June, maybe in August if we had a late dry period. Our exports are poor right now, but it is that time of year.

Progress report. The USDA Crop Progress report out May 15 also did not help matters. We still are ahead of the average planting pace of 59%, hitting 65% for the country this week.

Ohio lags the total, but is not far behind the average. Ohio farmers have planted 26% of the corn, up from just 11% last week, but behind the 34% average.

Remember, the benchmark for not getting a cut in yield is to have 75% planted by May 15, so we have missed that by 10%, but probably have already caught up to the average as this is read.

The soybean planting pace is a similar matter, except that the trend to earlier planting has us well ahead of history and helping the yield/ hurting the price.

Ohio had 28% of the soybean acres planted by the May 14th date of the estimate. The average was just 23% for Ohio, and we gained 12% last week. U.S. farmers had 49% of the soybeans in, up from 35%, and well ahead of the 36% five-year average.

It should be mentioned that part of the mental adjustment to corn that is below $6 and soybeans that are headed below $14 on some days is that we have had large inverses in the futures prices.

That is, May futures were well above the July futures for corn and soybeans, so the futures prices seem rotten as we switch our cash basis from May to July futures. It helps that basis is high over the July futures, but this will work out of the market, reminding us why we sell early in inverted markets.

Wheat. This week, the talk in

Marlin Clark Market Monitor

commodities has been about wheat more than usual. That is because the reality of a very poor Hard Red Winter crop traded on the Kansas City market and the very good Soft Red Winter crop traded in Chicago are forcing futures contract for those exchanges to have a record spread.

Kansas City is now trading about $2.30 above Chicago. The hard, bread wheat will pull up our cookie wheat a little, but the prices will not be the same since the cookie wheat cannot be substituted for the bread wheat.

Wheat has finally rallied in Kansas City, with a gain of 44 cents last week. At the same time, Chicago lost 25 cents. Remember, though, the wheat harvest has started in southern Texas, and as it moves north, we may get some rallies out of this, but mostly in the hard wheat markets.

Warmer weather boosted planting in Ohio and Pa.

WASHINGTON — Farmers took advantage of last week’s midweek sunny spell to make considerable headway in planting, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture NASS, Great Lakes Regional Field Office.

Precipitation limited fieldwork early last week, but several subsequent days of above average temperatures and clear skies facilitated excellent evaporation until a second round of late-week storms.

Topsoil moisture conditions were rated 1% very short, 5% short, 68% adequate, and 26% surplus.

up from the previous week. Corn and soybean planting progress pushed forward to 26 and 28% planted, respectively. Emergence for both crops reached 8%.

Field activities last week included tillage, planting, cutting of forage crops and applications of fertilizer, herbicide and pesticide.

Spring and fall fruit tree crops in the northern tier of the state continued to mature in line with expectations. Reporters in northwestern counties described localized alfalfa weevil activity.

May showers bring hay

By Eliza Blue

Here on the short-grass prairie our “average” yearly precipitation is 13 inches. I put the average in quotes because it can be a whole lot less or a whole lot more, and the difference entirely defines the year for those of us laboring on farms and ranches.

All winter long, no matter how treacherous the weather, every time it snows, someone is bound to say: “Well, we need the moisture.” Once the snow melts, we immediately start worrying about drought. Elsewhere the saying goes: April showers bring May flowers. Here, it could be amended to: May showers bring HAY.

For two years in a row it didn’t snow and it barely rained. The fields were uniformly gray and brown; the prairie lay dormant, and the trees leaned listlessly in the dry wind. I’ve never wanted to live in the desert, but suddenly that seemed to be where I’d arrived. It was a long two years.

Then, in one 24-hour period last May, it rained four inches and the whole prairie changed overnight. We got only a little more rain the rest of the summer, but it didn’t matter. The grass grew tall. Our half-corgi pup, Jovi, would get lost in it, jumping up on his hind legs and yipping to try and find his way back to me when we took walks. The greenery in the draws was so dense and riotous they were almost impassable, and wildflowers we’d never seen before came into bloom.

“How is this happening?” I asked my husband.

“WHEN it rains is as important as how much it rains,” my husband replied.

It seemed unlikely we’d receive that kind of abundance two years

in a row, but we had plenty of snow this past winter, so we knew we’d get a green spring. Once the moisture soaked in, however, the greening stalled. The prairie waited, thirsty, and we started checking the 10-day forecast every morning, hoping to see the rain cloud symbol.

Precipitation was predicted last week on several different days. In these parts that usually means it will rain one of the predicted days–if we are lucky. The first day of predicted rain came and .2 inches fell. “Not bad,” my usually stoic husband said with a smile.

The next night it rained again, but only about .1 inches. Still, it was better than dry wind. Thursday morning it started to sprinkle again. It was supposed to rain all day, so my husband stayed home from fencing only to have the rain stay south. By evening we were resigned that .3 inches might be it for a while, until, just before bed, it started to rain again, this time harder. I read bedtime stories in a near shout over as rain beat the roof and windows like a thousand hammers, thunder and lightning crashing right overhead.

Of course, I’m in the middle of lambing out my small flock, so when I got up at 1 a.m. to go check on everyone I discovered the rain had slowed to gentle showers, but was still steady. After walking through the little pasture and finding that no one was laboring, I stopped by to check the rain gauge. In the dim light from my cellphone’s flashlight, I had to squint and rub my eyes over and over to make sure I was reading it correctly. The next morning rising at dawn I thought it must have been a dream, but no, I hadn’t dreamed it

Eliza Blue Little Pasture on the Prairie

— it had rained THREE INCHES!

And it kept raining. All told we got over six inches, almost half the yearly average in just a handful of days.

I’ll admit, checking on and worrying about the flock through approximately 50 straight hours of hard rain was not my favorite experience, but this morning the sun came out, and it was all worth it. The grass has already doubled its growth, the trees are fully budded out, and the flowering bushes are beginning the sweet-scented blossoming. Best of all, there will be enough for everyone to eat this summer and fall, and that is the sweetest gift of all.

SCOTUS backs Calif. law for more space for pigs

(Continued from Page A1)

duction standards arbitrarily laid out by Prop 12 would impact primarily farms outside of California, as most hogs are raised elsewhere in the country, thus violating the U.S. Constitution. They also said it would cost producers hundreds of millions to build or retrofit compliant facilities, likely increasing the price of pork nationwide.

Impact. Pork producers were joined by a chorus of outcry from other agricultural groups, as well as several members of Congress, including Sens. Chuck Grassley and Joni Ernst, both R-Iowa, and Sen. John Boozman, R-Arkansas.

“Prop 12 remains a costly burden to producers and provides no benefit to animals or consumers,” said Julie Anna Potts, president of the North American Meat Institute.

Hays said in a call with reporters May 12 that the National Pork Producers Council is disappointed in the ruling and the group is still evaluating the court’s full opinion.

Hays, a Missouri hog farmer, said doesn’t plan to change his operation to comply with Prop 12, but he wonders how long he’ll have a market if other states begin to require such rules. He was also concerned about the welfare of pigs moved to group housing. One of the industry’s arguments against requiring sows to be in group housing was that it would jeopardize sow safety.

“The thing is, sows are bullies,” he said. “There’s going to be a boss sow.”

Prop 12 is set to go into effect July 1. Michael Formica, National Pork Producers chief legal strategist, said the group is working with California officials to determine what implementation looks like so

that there are “minimal disruptions to the marketplace.”

Formica was also concerned about the precedence this decision set beyond pork, that it allowed one state to push its moral standards on another state.

Background. In 2018, California voters passed Proposition 12, a ballot initiative developed by the Humane Society of the United State that amends the California Health and Safety Code to prohibit confining breeding pigs, egg-laying hens and veal calves “in a cruel manner.”

According to California, this means female pigs 6 months of age or older must have at least 24 square feet of usable floor space per animal, to be able to turn around and lie down. The regulation also prohibits the sale of pork from other states that did not follow this space requirement.

The National Pork Producers Council and American Farm Bureau Federation sued, arguing that Prop 12 violated the dormant commerce clause, which says that because Congress has power over interstate commerce states cannot discriminate against or unduly burden interstate commerce.

California has less than 1% of the nation’s breeding pig herd but consumes about 13% of pork eaten in the U.S., so Prop 12 would primarily impact other states, the farm groups argued. About threequarters of American farmers with breeding hogs keep them in individual pens that would not be compliant with California’s rules.

Pork producers also said that the way the pork market works, with cuts of meat fro m various producers being combined before sale, it is likely all pork would have to meet California standards, regard-

less of where it is sold. Complying with Prop 12 could cost the industry $290 million to $350 million, they said.

The Biden administration urged justices to side with the farm groups, telling the court in written filings that Prop 12 would be a “wholesale change in how pork is raised and marketed in this country” and that it has “thrown a giant wrench” into the nation’s pork market.

During arguments in the case in October, justices underscored the potential reach of the case. Some worried whether greenlighting the animal cruelty law would give state legislators a license to pass laws targeting practices they disapprove of, such as a law that says a produc t cannot be sold in the state if workers who made it are not vaccinated or are not in the country legally. They also worried about the reverse: How many state laws would be called into question if California’s law were not permitted?

In the end, Gorsuch said in his opinion that the pork producers challenging the law were inviting the justices to “fashion two new and more aggressive constitutional restrictions on the ability of States to regulate goods sold within their borders.”

“We decline that invitation. While the Constitution addresses many weighty issues, the type of pork chops California merchants may sell is not on that list,” he wrote. Pork producers should instead turn to Congress for relief from state laws they dislike.

Is wastewater wasted water?

Lynn Vogel

The Dirt on Conservation

Have you ever thought about your daily habits and how they impact water quality both now and for future generations?

There are so many ways to waste water. One way we waste water is by using more than we need, such as leaving the water running while we brush our teeth. A running tap is pretty apparent, but water wasting is not always so obvious.

Pretty much everything we purchase has a water legacy. Massive quantities of water are used to grow food and transport it to our refrigerators. Each time we throw away food, we are wasting the water used to produce it. It takes about 1,800 gallons of water to produce a pair of jeans — that’s more drinking water than you need for over five years. Buying more clothes than we need is wasting water. Terms matter. What about the terms waste water and wastewater? Are they the same thing? Not necessarily. Both are water that has been “used.” The word waste is defined as a material or substance that is discarded as no longer useful or required after the completion of a process. So, waste water is water that has been used in a variety of processes (industrial, mining and materials production) that pollute water beyond what is economically feasible to reclaim.

How is that different than wastewater? Unlike waste water, wastewater can be treated to reduce the contamination to a level that natural processes can finish the job of reclaiming this water for re-use. For the most part, the term wastewater is applied to water that has gone down a drain. In homes this includes water from sinks, showers, bathtubs, toilets, washing machines and dishwashers. It includes substances such as food scraps, oils, soaps, chemicals and human waste. And just like the livestock on our farms, humans are constantly creating their own waste.

Hu-manure: human waste. To avoid fines resulting from potential pollution abatement inspections, farmers need to know and follow the rules that dictate when and how much manure can be stock-piled and/ or spread on ag fields. Cautious farmers will document these actions and have them ready just in case someone files a complaint about their operation. An Ohio farmer might be able to tell you with great accuracy when they last spread manure on a field, but I wonder how many farmers can tell you when they last had their home sewage tanks pumped?

I am not picking on farmers — there are probably even more suburbanites that would struggle to answer the same question. Having your septic tanks pumped is just one of the many ways homeowners can maintain the proper function of their home sewage treatment system (HSTS). Our hu-manure really adds up when you consider that roughly one million Ohio families have a HSTS. Just as the burden falls to farmers to properly manage manure, the burden falls to homeowners to make sure they maintain a properly functioning HSTS.

So how are Ohioans doing with maintaining their HSTS’s? The Ohio Department of Health estimates that 31% of HSTS in the state are failing. If we were in school, that would be a D grade! A failing system allows insufficiently treated water to enter both surface waters and groundwater. These waterways can be contaminated with pathogens, such as E. coli, chemicals and nutrients including nitrogen and phosphorus. Pathogenic bacteria and viruses can cause serious human illness when drinking water is polluted. Excess nitrogen and phosphorus are also common contami-

nants associated with human waste. These nutrient loads can disrupt the life cycles of aquatic plants and animals that have critical roles in maintaining water quality.

Considering Ohio’s poor grade in maintaining properly functioning HSTS’s, it might do well for all HSTS owners (myself included) to study up on the key elements of HSTS maintenance. It turns out that wasting water (using more than you need) is bad for HSTS’s. Proper use is just as important as routine maintenance. A few water-conservation and maintenance tips are listed below:

Conserve water Repair leaky faucets and fixtures, take shorter showers, buy water-saving appliances when replacing dishwashers and washing machines, run full loads when using and stagger water use so you are not overloading your system

Be careful with what goes down the drain. Switch to eco-friendly soap, cleaners and detergents. Flush only pee, poo and toilet paper. Keep accurate records: Know where your septic tank is and keep a diagram of its location. Keep a record of maintenance which will be helpful if problems occur and if you plan to sell your home.

Inspect your system once a year. Check inside your septic tank to see if the solids need pumped. Periodically inspect the drain field and downslope areas for odors, wet

spots or surfacing sewage.

Pump out your septic tank when needed. Routine pumping can prevent failures such as clogging of the drain field and sewage backup into the home. Keep all runoff away from your system. Water from surfaces such as roofs, driveways, or patios should be diverted away from the septic tank and drain field area.

Protect your system from damage. Do not drive over or park heavy equipment and mowers on your drain field. Keep livestock away from your HSTS area. Soil compaction is a major threat to proper HSTS function.

Make good landscaping decisions Do not plant large tree species within 50 feet of a drain field or other HSTS equipment. Also keep the drain field free of volunteer woody plant material. Dirty business is not good business. If you are looking to sell your

property, a failing home sewage treatment system can decrease the value of your property. Buyers and their agents are quick to ask for inspections to prove that the HSTS is functioning properly. They are even quicker to ask for reductions on the selling price if repairs or replacement is needed. Keep in mind proper HSTS maintenance will help protect your financial investment.

Many counties throughout Ohio have worked to receive both federal and state grant funds to assist homeowners with repairs and/or replacement of failing home sewage treatment systems. Check with your local health department to determine what services they can provide. Remember, everyone stands to benefit when homeowners choose to maintain their HSTS.

Four challenges will shape the next farm bill

By Kathleen Merrigan Arizona State University

For the 20th time since 1933, Congress is writing a multiyear farm bill that will shape what kind of food U.S. farmers grow, how they raise it and how it gets to consumers. These measures are large, complex and expensive: The next farm bill is projected to cost taxpayers

U.S. $1.5 trillion over 10 years.

Modern farm bills address many things besides food, from rural broadband access to biofuels and even help for small towns to buy police cars. These measures bring out a dizzying range of interest groups with diverse agendas.

Umbrella organizations like the American Farm Bureau Federation and the National Farmers Union typically focus on farm subsidies and crop insurance. The National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition advocates for small farmers and ranchers. Industry-specific groups, such as cattlemen, fruit and vegetable growers and organic producers, all have their own interests.

Environmental and conservation groups seek to influence policies that affect land use and sustainable farming practices. Hunger and nutrition groups target the bill’s sections on food aid. Rural counties,

hunters and anglers, bankers and dozens of other organizations have their own wish lists.

As a former Senate aide and senior official at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, I’ve seen this intricate process from all sides. In my view, with the challenges in this round so complex and with critical 2024 elections looming, it could take Congress until 2025 to craft and enact a bill. Here are four key issues shaping the next farm bill, and through it, the future of the U.S. food system.

The price tag. Farm bills always are controversial because of their high cost, but this year the timing is especially tricky. In the past two years, Congress has enacted major bills to provide economic relief from the COVID-19 pandemic, counter inflation, invest in infrastructure and boost domestic manufacturing.

These measures follow unprecedented spending for farm support during the Trump administration. Now legislators are jockeying over raising the debt ceiling, which limits how much the federal government can borrow to pay its bills.

Agriculture Committee leaders and farm groups argue that more money is necessary to strengthen the food and farm sector. If they

have their way, the price tag for the next farm bill would increase significantly from current projections.

On the other side, reformers argue for capping payments to farmers, which the Washington Post recently described as an “expensive agricultural safety net,” and restricting payment eligibility. In their view, too much money goes to very large farms that produce commodity crops like wheat, corn, soybeans and rice, while small and mediumsize producers receive far less support.

Food aid is the key fight. Many people are surprised to learn that nutrition assistance — mainly through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly known as food stamps — is where most farm bill money is spent. Back in the 1970s, Congress began including nutrition assistance in the farm bill to secure votes from an increasingly urban nation.

Today, over 42 million Americans depend on SNAP, including nearly one in every four children. Along with a few smaller programs, SNAP will likely consume 80% of the money in the new farm bill, up from 76% in 2018.

Why have SNAP costs grown?

During the pandemic, SNAP bene-

Explore

fits were increased on an emergency basis, but that temporary arrangement expired in March 2023. Also, in response to a directive included in the 2018 farm bill, the USDA recalculated what it takes to afford a healthy diet, known as the Thrifty Food Plan, and determined that it required an additional $12-$16 per month per recipient, or 40 cents per meal.

Because it’s such a large target, SNAP is where much of the budget battle will play out. Most Republicans typically seek to rein in SNAP; most Democrats usually support expanding it.

Anti-hunger advocates are lobbying to make the increased pandemic benefits permanent and defend the revised Thrifty Food Plan. In contrast, Republicans are calling for SNAP reductions, and are particularly focused on expanding work requirements for recipients.

Debating climate solutions. The 2022 Inflation Reduction Act provided $19.5 billion to the Department of Agriculture for programs that address climate change. Environmentalists and farmers alike applauded this investment, which is intended to help the agriculture sector embrace climate-smart farming practices and move toward markets

that reward carbon sequestration and other ecosystem services.

This big pot of money has become a prime target for members of Congress who are looking for more farm bill funding. On the other side, conservation advocates, sustainable farmers and progressive businesses oppose diverting climate funds for other purposes.

There also is growing demand for Congress to require USDA to develop better standards for measuring, reporting and verifying actions designed to protect or increase soil carbon. Interest is rising in “carbon farming” — paying farmers for practices such as no-till agriculture and planting cover crops, which some studies indicate can increase carbon storage in soil.

But without more research and standards, observers worry that investments in climate-smart agriculture will support greenwashing — misleading claims about environmental benefits — rather than a fundamentally different system of production. Mixed research results have raised questions as to whether establishing carbon markets based on such practices is premature.

A complex bill and inexperienced legislators. Understanding farm bills requires highly specialized knowledge about issues ranging from crop insurance to nutrition to forestry. Nearly one-third of current members of Congress were first elected after the 2018 farm bill was enacted, so this is their first farm bill cycle.

I expect that, as often occurs in Congress, new members will follow more senior legislators’ cues and go along with traditional decision making. This will make it easier for entrenched interests, like the American Farm Bureau Federation and major commodity groups, to maintain support for Title I programs, which provide revenue support for major commodity crops like corn, wheat and soybeans. These programs are complex, cost billions of dollars and go mainly to large-scale operations.

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack’s current stump speech spotlights the fact that 89% of U.S. farmers failed to make a livable profit in 2022, even though total farm income set a record at $162 billion. Vilsack asserts that less-profitable operations should be the focus of this farm bill — but when pressed, he appears unwilling to concede that support for large-scale operations should be changed in any way.

When I served as deputy secretary of agriculture from 2009 to 2011, I oversaw the department’s budget process and learned that investing in one thing often requires defunding another. My dream farm bill would invest in three priorities: organic agriculture as a climate solution; infrastructure to support vibrant local and regional markets and shift away from an agricultural economy dependent on exporting low-value crops; and agricultural science and technology research aimed at reducing labor and chemical inputs and providing new solutions for sustainable livestock production.

In my view, it is time for tough policy choices, and it won’t be possible to fund everything. Congress’ response will show whether it supports business as usual in agriculture, or a more diverse and sustainable U.S. farm system.

OAK HARBOR, Ohio — With a flourish of ribbon cutting and a flock of pelicans flying overhead, Ohio Bird Day on May 4 at Magee Marsh kicked off American Birding Week.

The Friends of Magee Marsh and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Wildlife have completed renovations to the Magee Marsh Visitors Center and the boardwalk. It’s open for business as it welcomes visitors with new exhibits, habitat displays focusing on birds and migration, and a gift store. It is the first point of entry to Magee Marsh for bird watchers from all over the world.

“I think Magee Marsh should be on every birder’s bucket list,” said Mary Mertz, ODNR director, during her comments at the opening ceremony. Mertz states that she hopes everyone who visits has a better understanding of bird conservation.

Top spot. According to Scott Butterworth, district manager of the Division of Wildlife District 2 headquarters, Magee Marsh Wildlife Area is one of the top 10 birding destinations in North America.

The economic impact of bird watching in Ohio is substantial, with 90,000 birders visiting the area during bird week from May 5 to May 14. They spent about $40 million in tourism dollars, leaving an imprint on the local economy. The evidence was in the out-of-state license plates of the cars sitting in the parking lot during the opening ceremony.

“Bird Week creates an ecotourism boom,” said Larry Fletcher, president of Shores and Islands Ohio.

“It’s really a critical component of our tourism economy here,” Fletcher added. “A lot of hotels, bed and breakfasts, and vacation rentals are full in that early part of May. “

Kim Kaufman, executive director of the Black Swamp Bird Observatory, said birders have purchased condos and vacation homes in the area just so they have a place to stay during bird migration.

“Birds transform lives,” Kaufman said during the opening ceremony. “Magee Marsh is the epicenter of the spring migration. It is loved by birders and photographers.”

Warbler central. Tourists come in from all states in the U.S. and 52 countries. Warblers are the focus of these visitors since northwest Ohio is considered the “Warbler Capital of the World.” Warblers are small songbirds that fit in the palm of your hand, and they come a long way from the Caribbean. They are an important part of the ecosystem.

Warblers are on their way to summer in Canada or the northern U.S. They stop and rest in the Black Swamp and Magee Marsh areas of northwest Ohio. While resting, they will eat insects and plants, then travel across Lake Erie to the north. There are 36 warbler species that migrate through Ohio, and they are a welcome sight to birders, since they are known for their bright colors and beautiful songs.

Warblers aren’t the only birds at Magee Marsh. There are large numbers of other types of birds that come through, like robins, cardinals, sandpipers, cranes, ducks, geese, swans and herons.

Gov. Mike DeWine was on hand for the opening. As a former U.S. congressman, he was a co-sponsor of the Recovering America’s Wildlife Act. He has also supported the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, along with other initiatives.

“So many wildlife species rely on wetland habitat like Magee Marsh, which is why we’re working to create more wetlands here in northwest Ohio and across the state,” DeWine said. (Reporter Nella Citino can be reached at nella@farmanddairy.com or 323-643-2353.)

Managing cattle in mud can help reduce stress

By Jamie Hampton

Mud isn’t avoidable, but we can lessen its impacts on our animals. Stress causes reduced production. Mud can cause stress. Therefore mud causes reduced production. Muddy conditions can make it more difficult for livestock to move around. Mud causes a reduction in the insulation value of hair and wool and increased disease due to the pathogens that thrive in mud.

Whether you are calving or just worried about production, mud can cause management issues.

While calving, keeping an eye on your calves around mud is a must. Not only are they deeper in the mud than their mothers, but they are also ingesting the mud through nursing.

Calves are more susceptible to disease and illness simply because of their age.

If you have finished up your calving season and plan to turn out the bull, mud can cause problems with breeding because of the difficulties that muddy slippery conditions bring with it.

Best practices. While we cannot avoid mud completely on the

farm, we can use best management practices to help reduce the impact of the mud. If you have cows that are calving or have small calves on their side, move them to pastures with less mud, or indoors during the worse conditions. Moving feeders and round bales to different locations throughout the field will help to reduce the amount of damage that the cattle can have to feeding areas. The goal is to decrease your stocking rate to reduce the damage to the soil. If you have a feedlot, think about providing bedding. There are many sources of bedding available but look

for things that will allow the manure and liquids to settle to the bottom and stay dryer on top.

According to Iowa State’s beef specialist, cornstalks tend to be the preferred choice. The author points out that it is recommended to provide 1 pound of bedding per day per inch of mud per head for feedlots and yearling cattle, while 4 pounds of bedding per day per inch of mud is needed for cow-calf pairs.

You will want to consider managing bedding away from feed and water to help control feed waste and contamination from excessive feces

in that area. If you are managing a bed pack, keep your cattle high and add fresh bedding to maintain a dry surface.

Researchers analyze US farming counties

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — While farms in the U.S. can vary by many characteristics such as size, production scale and the products they produce, Penn State researchers say many agricultural policies are designed with a “one size fits all” approach.

A new study led by College of Agricultural Sciences researchers set out to analyze U.S. farming counties to better understand the diversity of farms across the country. They found that counties could be grouped into six main categories, or “clusters,” and that counties could belong to the same cluster while geographically being a great distance apart.

For example, counties in southeastern Pennsylvania tend to have small, labor-intensive, high-value farms, which are more characteristic of many counties on the West Coast than they are of counties much closer by in western Pennsylvania.

This differs from the way the U.S. Department of Agriculture currently groups types of farms, which is by dividing the country into several geographic regions.

David Abler, professor of agricultural, environmental and regional economics and demography, said the findings suggest that the U.S. farm sector is very complex and heterogeneous — knowledge that could help policymakers better identify and respond where agriculture is most impacted by economic changes.

“One example is that inflation has significantly driven up the cost of farm machinery and equipment, and higher interest rates have driven that cost up even further for farms financing new machinery and equipment through loans,” Abler said. “One cluster that our research identifies is highly mechanized farms. Using our findings, policymakers can see which counties are in this cluster and therefore most exposed to higher farm machinery and equipment costs.”

According to Asif Rasool, a doctoral student in energy, environmental and food economics, economists have been trying to identify patterns in U.S. farming since the early 1900s to help understand the differences between farms in both economic performance and the well-being of farm households.

But updated research was hard to find, Rasool said, and many existing

Farm pesticide disposal events announced

COLUMBUS — The Ohio Department of Agriculture will be sponsoring three collection events for farmers wishing to dispose of unwanted pesticides. This year, the collections are happening in Morgan, Putnam and Miami counties on the following days and locations from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.:

• Aug. 9: Morgan County, Morgan County Fairgrounds, 2760 S. Riverside Drive, McConnelsville, Ohio 43756

• Aug. 10: Putnam County, Putnam County Fairgrounds, Gate 5, 1206 E. Second St., Ottawa, Ohio 45856

• Aug. 22: Miami County, Miami County Fairgrounds, North Gate, 650 N. County Road 25A, Troy, Ohio 45373

The pesticide collection and disposal services are free of charge, but only farm chemicals will be accepted. Paint, antifreeze, solvents and household or non-farm pesticides will not be accepted.

To pre-register, or for more information, contact the Ohio Department of Agriculture at 614-728-6987.

studies involved geographically contiguous groups of counties — for example, looking at all the counties in the Northeast as one group instead of analyzing counties individually.

“The United States Department of Agriculture led these efforts previously, but their last study of economic diversity in U.S. agriculture was done more than 30 years ago, and U.S. agriculture has changed a great deal during that time,” Rasool said.

“We felt it was time for an up-to-date study of economic diversity in U.S. agriculture using modern methodologies.”

For the study, the researchers compiled data on 2,778 counties in 48 U.S. states, excluding Alaska and Hawaii. Data comprised information

on 15 variables related to agriculture, including the agricultural resources of land, labor, machinery, buildings and utilities, as well as the sales generated by those resources.

The researchers then performed a cluster analysis to group counties with similar production potentials or farm resources into different clusters that shared similar characteristics.

“The goals of agricultural policies have evolved over the past few decades, incorporating economic, environmental, social and energy objectives,” Abler said. “Identifying farm sector diversity using advanced methodologies, like the cluster analysis we used, is a vital input into policy analysis.”

The researchers found that farms

could be sorted into six clusters.

“Small farms” made up 50% of all farming counties, with an average size of 269 acres smaller than the national average of 594 acres. “Medium-sized farms” made up 7% of the counties, with an average farm size significantly larger than the small farms, and “large farms” made up 5% of all counties, with high levels of assets and land per farm but low levels of assets per acre.

The cluster “highly mechanized farms” made up 25% of all counties, with high values of land, buildings and machinery per farm but low levels of labor per farm. Meanwhile, “small, labor-intensive, high-value farms” made up 8% of all counties. These farms had high values of labor

and assets per farm but small values of land area per farm.

Finally, the cluster labeled “the most productive farms” consisted of 146 counties from 15 states. These counties had high levels of machinery and sales per farm, medium levels of land area per farm and low levels of labor per farm.

Rasool said the findings which were recently published in the journal Agriculture, give insight into the diversity of agriculture across the country, which can then increase understanding of the effects of different policies and programs on various types of farms within the industry.

The USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture helped support this research.

Control flies to control economic losses

By Ted Wiseman

Warm weather has arrived for the summer and so have flying biting insects. I have seen estimates that flies cost U.S. livestock producers $700,000 to $1 million dollars annually. With high livestock prices it is more important than ever to keep animal performance at an optimum.

Flies can impact livestock performance by reducing weight gains, milk production and poor feed utilization. The major flies of concern are Horn flies, Face flies and Stable flies. Other annoying pests would include horse flies, deer flies, ticks and mosquitoes.

Types of flies. Horn flies are blood sucking found on the backs of livestock feeding 20 to 40 times per day. Recommended economic levels are reached when populations exceed 200 flies per animal and often peak this time of year. The female adults only leave the hosts to lay eggs in fresh manure. The complete egg to adult life cycle can be completed in 10 to 20 days depending upon the weather.

Stable flies are also serious insects affecting livestock since they too are blood sucking. These are normally found feeding on the legs and belly regions of livestock and can also cause significant reductions

in performance. When these flies bite which are often painful, and livestock react to them by stomping their feet or gathering in groups or standing in streams and ponds. Because of the location of feeding areas on the animal these flies can be the most challenging to control. The adult female prefers to lay eggs in wet moist hay or straw mixed with manure such as in feedlots or winter hay feeding areas.

Face flies are not biting insects but rather feed upon livestock secretions from the eye, mouth and nose. This feeding can cause damage to eye tissue which increases the potential for infection and diseases such as pink eye. The females do lay their eggs in fresh manure piles found in pastures.

How to control Several strategies can be used to help control fly populations. Sanitation is one of the most important management strategies especially in and around feedlots and buildings. As long as breeding locations are available other control efforts will be minimized. Larvicides are an option for pasture and feedlot situations either by applying directly to the fly breeding locations one could also use these products as a feed additive or incorporate into a mineral mixture.

For grazing livestock the first step

Ted Wiseman All About Grazing

is to correctly identify which type of fly you have. After correct identification then an application of insecticides directly to livestock can be accomplished using several application methods and products. Options include fly tags, direct spray, misters, pour-on, self-application devices (dust bags or oilers), walk through traps and the newer gun devices that shoots an insecticide capsule and explodes upon contact.

One key factor when using the self-applied applicators is getting your livestock to use them consistently. Often time producers will locate the devices in locations that force the livestock to move through them such as to get to water or mineral. Regardless of the method you use always read the insecticide labels for limitations and withdraw times.

Finally be sure to utilize an integrated fly control program, to reduce resistance issues. Insecticide resistance can develop if less than recommended levels of an insecticide is used, or by using the same insecticide or family of insecticides every year.

Ashland SWCD helps farmers

Since 1992

• No Partical Board in any J-Mark cabinet lines.

ASHLAND, Ohio — Ashland Soil and Water Conservation District is hosting a chat titled Growing Money, June 6, at Twin Oaks Farm on state Route 95 near Perrysville. The event is designed to give producers an overview of the growing cost share opportunities available through both the SWCD and through the USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). Participants will be able to see how the Workman family has leveraged NRCS funding and programs to make strategic investments on their farm.

Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District is offering cost-share programs for producers to develop and implement voluntary nutrient management plans and grazing plans on their operations. They also provide cost share for livestock stream exclusion fencing and funding for log jam removal projects. Producers can bring their field reporting maps to the chat and complete their cost share applications for cover crop and grazing plan opportunities.

MWCD has funded three different Partners in Watershed Management grant requests for equipment investments from Ashland SWCD: a cover crop interseeder, a cover crop crimper/roller, and a ground driven manure spreader for small and hobby farmers. All of those will be available for producers to get a personal look at and complete rental agreements at the chat.

The chat will begin at 5 p.m. In addition to learning about Ashland SWCD, MWCD and USDA programs, producers will also participate in a short question and answer session with Clark Hutson, the Ohio Department of Agriculture’s H2Ohio coordinator. Hutson will share what the H2Ohio program looks like in the Western Lake Erie Basin and what it will look like when the program expands statewide and into Ashland County.

Registration for the chat is free and includes dinner, but preregistration is requested. It can be made online at eventbrite.com/e/ conservation-chat-growing-moneytickets-601461185597 or call 419-2817645.

What a 17th century philosopher can teach us about dog training

I ran across an interesting video that reminded me how little we know about the brain and how it works. Three pounds of mostly fat and water that can write poetry, read music and remember the smell of the old farm house I once lived in.

It took me down a rabbit hole, where I spent time reading up on William Molyneux’s question, also known as Molyneux’s problem. It “concerns the possibility that a person born blind might immediately identify a shape previously familiar to them only by touch, if they were made to see,” according to an article by Brian Glenney.

Dog training. What does this have to do with dogs? Well, dogs have brains too, most of them, and as trainers it’s our job to get them to use it.

Owners want results, a dog they can enjoy, a companion. Getting there takes time, and I find myself often repeating the same litany, “training over equipment.”

Is equipment bad? Of course not. Tools are only as good or bad as the skills and intent of the person using them. Notice I said “intent” of the user. This is an important part of the mentality of dog training. While tools can be useful, their job is to help us set up communication and understanding so that the tool can be graduated from.

That’s the key in all of this in my opinion: communication. Building relationships and understanding takes time and owners have a habit of seeing tools as “pixie dust.” Does it fix the behavior right now? Yes, well, sort of.

What it’s really doing is suppressing the behavior in the moment, but it hasn’t actually taught the dog anything. This is the part that falls on you, the owner, and your trainer if you’re using one. This is also where communication comes in.

Be patient. It’s your job to communicate to the dog that the behavior the tool is supporting is the correct one, and the suppressed behavior is the one you don’t want. This doesn’t happen overnight. It takes work and patience.

A lot of the dogs I work with are rehomed adults, and their situation reminded me of Molyneux’s question. Their brain has already learned how to “see” and interact with the world they live in. Good, bad or indifferent when we bring them into our homes, it’s our job to help them learn to “see” things in a new way. Even if that only means learning the rules and routines of a new family.

Jumping to the use of tools on an adult dog is akin to putting a blindfold on a now seeing individual, because it’s “easier” than helping them learn to process their world as it is now.

Listen. While you might argue that the human brain is a lot more complicated than that of a dog, I might beg to differ. I think about all the things they know how to do that we didn’t teach them, how well they can learn from each other, and all the things we can learn from them if we take the time to listen.

Listening is a learned skill though, and it requires us to set aside the notion that we “know better” simply because we are humans and they are dogs.

All of this takes communication, understanding and patience.

A whole giant truckload of patience. It won’t happen today, and it won’t happen tomorrow, but one day all that work will pay off and you’ll wake up to find you have the companion you were looking for.

Federal judge sets deadline to put Lake Erie on pollution diet

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — Ohio’s environmental regulators will have until the end of June to finish a plan to aimed at combating toxic algae blooms that have flourished in Lake Erie since the late 1990s.

The deadline is part of settlement agreement a federal judge approved May 4. The consent decree also calls for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to either approve the plan within 90 days or come up with its plan own if the federal agency determines the state’s proposal isn’t strong enough.

The agreement brings an end to a lawsuit seeking to force mandatory pollution rules for the lake. Algae outbreaks have fouled drinking water twice since 2013 and are a threat to fish and wildlife.

WEST VIRGINIA

Nearly all of the phosphorus that fuels the blooms comes from farm fertilizer and livestock manure, researchers have found. Ohio already has been working for months to develop the pollution plan that would set “total maximum daily loads” and impose specific limits on phosphorus that flows into the lake.

For years, environmentalists have been calling for new regulations on farmers to limit two main sources of the phosphorus that feeds the algae — chemical fertilizers used on fields, and livestock manure. But farm organizations have vigorously fought attempts to regulate runoff. (©2023 Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.)

Norfolk Southern estimates Ohio derailment will cost $387 million

By Josh Funk

The Associated Press

OMAHA, Neb. — Norfolk Southern expects February’s fiery Ohio derailment to cost it $387 million, but that total will likely increase over time and that doesn’t reflect how much the railroad’s insurance companies will eventually cover.

The railroad provided a detailed estimate of the cost of Feb. 3 derailment outside East Palestine, Ohio, along with first-quarter earnings. That derailment, and others since then, sparked a nationwide focus on railroad safety. Regulators and members of Congress have proposed reforms like capping freight trains lengths and setting standards for the trackside detectors used to spot problems.

CEO Alan Shaw told Congress that he backs some proposals like enhanced standards for tank cars, but insists the data doesn’t support other ideas like minimum two-person crews. Shaw reiterated his promise to “do whatever it takes to make it right for East Palestine and the surrounding areas.”

The $387 million estimate includes the $30.9 million the railroad pledged to help residents and the community around East Palestine recover from the derailment. Norfolk Southern said it has already spent about $55 million to dig up and remove nearly 34,000 tons of contaminated soil and trucked away another 13.2 million gallons of tainted water. Yet those who live near the derailment site close to the Ohio-Pennsylvania border are fearful of possible long term health impacts even though officials say that repeated testing hasn’t shown harmful levels of chemicals in the air or drinking water.

That estimate doesn’t include money Norfolk Southern will put into

funds to help cover any long-term health issues, protect drinking water and compensate residents for the loss in their property values because the details are still being worked out with Ohio’s attorney general. The railroad will also have to reimburse the Environmental Protection Agency for its oversight of the cleanup.

The railroad does have insurance coverage that will kick in after the first $75 million spent on damage to people’s property and after the first $75 million of damage on its own. But the details of how much insurance will actually cover will be worked out over time.

Norfolk Southern and other major freight railroads have announced new safety measures, including installing more than 1,000 more trackside detectors. But they’re not likely to totally abandon the lean operating model adopted over the past six years that labor unions say has made the industry riskier because so many jobs have been cut, forcing inspections to be rushed and leaving train crews on call 24-7.

A worker safety advocacy group, the National Council on Occupational Safety and Health, issued a report Wednesday labeling Norfolk Southern and the other major freight railroads as some of the most dangerous employers in the nation because of those labor concerns about the impact of the cost cutting. The railroads defend their record as the safest way to transport hazardous chemicals over land and say recent changes to eliminate nearly one-third of all rail jobs and rely more on fewer, longer trains haven’t compromised safety.

Federal Railroad Administration data shows that Norfolk Southern reported 12.95 train accidents per every million miles last year. That’s better than the three previous years but still

worse than a decade earlier when it reported 11.4 total accidents per million miles. Shaw pledged to continue working to improve that record as the railroad applies the lessons from East Palestine.

“Moving forward, Norfolk southern will be known for safe operations,” Shaw said. Yet the National Transportation Safety Board and Federal Railroad Administration are investigating the railroad’s practices to see where they can be improved.

Norfolk Southern’s first quarter profit fell 34% to $466 million, or $2.04 per share, because of the derailment costs. That’s down from $703 million, or $2.93 per share, a year ago.

Without the derailment costs, the railroad estimated that it would have made $1.1 billion, or $3.32 per share, exceeding the $3.15 Wall Street expected, according to a survey by Zacks Investment Research.

Citi analyst Christian Wetherbee said the railroad’s core results were weaker than he expected and shares were down more than 3% Wednesday afternoon at $200.58.

Expenses jumped 32% to $2.4 billion, along with labor expenses tied to significant hiring over the past year and a new contract for employees.

Revenue grew 7% to $3.13 billion, in line with expectations, as it increased rates for most of the cargo it delivered. Volume was flat overall.

The derailment cleanup has slowed traffic on a busy east-west corridor for the railroad because it has only had one of its two tracks in service since March while it is digging up contaminated soil. That work is expected to wrap up in early June, which will boost traffic in the area.

Different names for the same thing

Statesville interchange.

Every so often one spots an empty church building with no surrounding houses, signs that they have faithfully fulfilled God’s calling in their time. Well done, good and faithful servants.

Though these houses of worship vary in size, age, worship styles and some differences in expression of the Christian faith, they hold one thing in common. People come to worship, find peace and guidance and respond to the call to witness the risen Christ. All affirm the same gospel.

Christ, was given to us, imperfect as we are. The diversity of worship style, size and emphasis is the Almighty’s way of reaching us in all of our diversity of life experience, personality and need. We may be wise to not take ourselves too seriously, as we pursue our serious calls to witness. You and I must realize that none of us is perfect in our understanding of God’s mind, and that we are to share what we understand of our faith walks, as God has lovingly poured into our chipped and cracked lives’ vessels.

“My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast! I will sing and make melody! Awake, my soul! Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awake the dawn!”

— Psalms 108:1-2

“And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.”

— Mark 14:26

Ephesians 1:15-23

[Paul writes] Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of his p;ower to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty ;power, which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality, and ;power and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: And hath p;ut all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.

RESPONDING TO THE SAME

CALL

Interstate 77 offers a study in churches. A winding stretch of the highway makes its way through Charleston, West Virginia, south into Virginia. One travels past some older substantial church buildings in changing neighborhoods. Couple of newer edifices appear a half mile down the road. A couple of small communities appear a few miles ahead. Five small frame places of worship serve them. A large modern place of worship lies on the west side of a

IN THE POTTER’S HAND

House of Israel, can’t I deal with you like this potter, declares the Lord?

Like clay in the potter’s hand, so are you in mine.

— Jeremiah 18:6 (CEB)

Ten years ago, I made a decision that had a devastating effect on my family — the loss of my marriage, the loss of my career and a four-year stint in the criminal justice system, including two years of incarceration.

Although my prison time is over, my status as a convicted felon will never end. My family also carries that stigma. They will forever have the scars left by this ordeal.

As I contemplate the last decade

I wonder about how each of these congregations came into being and about what drew people to each of their unique fellowships. People who settled in these places brought their religious backgrounds with them. They established churches, drew new believers and thrived. Some closed, as people moved on or as differences arose within them.

Church names offer hints revealing how they came into existence.

I recall passing a house of worship bearing the name, “Dripping Springs United Separate Baptist Church.”

Each congregation, regardless of denominational tradition, has a story to tell about its faith and witness walk.

God’s Holy Spirit works through each congregation, calling it to spread the Good News of God’s saving grace among all kids of people, in spite of their sometimes fuss-driven origins. One summer while a seminary student, I served a congregation located on high ground above the Ohio River near Marietta, Ohio. Another church of a different denomination sat about a quarter of a mile away. Both had been part of the congregation then located in the flood plain some 60 years before.

After being flooded a couple of times, the congregation split over whether they should relocate on higher ground. One group moved up the hill, while the other rebuilt on the flood-prone site. About 30 years later, the faithful on the river bank relocated up the hill near their separated brethren. The last I heard, both have survived. God had purposes in mind for both, using their unique personalities and worship styles.

The Lord somehow works through the ornery and imperfect vessels of our humanity. After all, God’s saving grace, as shown to us through Jesus

The late Pastor David Carrick served the Christian Church here in Millersburg when we moved in. We became good friends, working together with other churches in various endeavors. Dave and I concluded that basic differences lay in the necessity of baptism by immersion, his tradition favored immersion, while mine practiced baptism by sprinkling, pouring or immersion. We agreed that this was not the defining factor on one’s suitability for eternal life in Christ.

“Dave, there are many mansions in God’s house, according to Jesus.” I commented.

He replied with a laugh, “Yeah. But we get the one with the swimming pool!”

The Lord has to have a sense of humor, for the Almighty gave it to us as a gift to remind us to be humble.

Paul prays for the Ephesian congregation in the above Bible passage. After emphasizing God’s majesty, power, guidance and boundless love, the apostle reminds this faithful group that it is Christ’s body, God’s presence in their world. And they are to live and spread the message of God’s love and salvation.

You and I are part of that body, wherever and however we worship and serve in Jesus’ name. Size, style, location and means of sharing the gospel are diverse, each with its Godgiven task. We are called to witness as God has gifted and called us. Let’s respect each other’s ways of proclaiming our shared faith.

God, we thank you for the variety of churches, both those currently sharing the Good News and those whose tasks have been completed by your guidance. May we recognize and respect each others’ unique calls to ministry in a world filled with unique people. Amen.

I love that scene from the “Blue and The Gray” mini-series where the war correspondent son finds himself at a Union soldiers camp singing “Tenting tonight on the old campground …”

As I travel on the battlefield, I often imagine how early visitors (who flocked here when the battle ended) saw the fields and hills. Did they travel by carriage or horse drawn farm wagon with the locals making a few bucks?

Where did they stay overnight? I would think some actually camped on the battlefield. Boy, that would be an experience. Other than the boy scout campground (MacMillan Woods), and a few other spots periodically — Spangler’s Springs and The Amphitheater — there are no campers allowed. Are we missing some tourist bucks here?

My second thought was the act of singing. Mary Luti writes, “We sing of hope when there’s not hope, of courage when we’re terrified …”

Rev.

Stephen Broache

I suppose the soldiers sang a lot in their idle time. They would sing songs of home and longedfor loves, songs of war and the honor of it all, songs of grieving for comrades and enemies. Perhaps they even sang songs of courage to wake the dawn (!) like a psalmist.

Is our singing a symptom of happiness as I’ve heard, or a way to banish fear when terrified? Perhaps it’s a way to be hopeful, as those lonely far from home soldiers were, in the midst of a lacking hope situation. Ah…singing around the campfires … tenting tonight ... it can draw us closer to our creator; and the savior who goes with us in our hearts.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, you sang on the night of your arrest. Was it a song of joy to strengthen you? Hear the cries of our hearts as we sing your praises. Amen.

BIBLE TRIVIA

1. Is the book of 3 Timothy (KJV) in the Old or New Testament or neither?

2. From Genesis 22:2, who did God command to sacrifice his only son? Isaac, Job, Noah, Abraham

3. How many times does the word “grandmother” occur in the Bible? 1, 3, 6, 21

4. From Exodus 20, to whom did God give the Ten Commandments? Noah, Abraham, Moses, Aaron

5. What’s the middle book of the Old Testament? Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Isaiah, Jeremiah

6. Where is the New Testament “Hall of Faith”? Luke 2, Titus 13, Hebrews 11, John 3 ANSWERS: 1) Neither, 2) Abraham, 3) 1 (2 Timothy 1:5), 4) Moses, 5) Proverbs, 6) Hebrews 11

and all my family and I have been through, I am drawn to the passage in Jeremiah where God sent the prophet to the potter’s house to receive a divine message.

The potter was working on a pot that was imperfect, so he formed it into another pot. The message was clear: God can take our imperfect selves and shape us into something new.

Ten years ago, I could be identified as a father, husband, business owner, CPA and provider. Today, I am identified as a servant, employee, writer, friend and comforter.

I have realized we must be willing and receptive if God is going to shape us into something new. God’s work

takes time, and we must be patient while we persevere in trusting our Creator.

Today’s prayer: Dear God, strengthen us to surrender to your potter’s hand, to be molded into the people you desire us to be. Amen.

Eighth farm joins ODA farmland preservation

REYNOLDSBURG, Ohio

— The Ohio Department of Agriculture announced May 8 that 295 acres have been added to the Farmland Preservation Program. Curtis N. Bechtel, in Knox County, and Ronald S. Rickly, in Fairfield County, become the seventh and eighth Ohio farmers to join the program this year.

In partnership with ODA, local sponsors Owl Creek Conservancy and Fairfield County Board of Commissioners respectively played significant roles in securing these agreements.

Since the Office of Farmland Preservation began in 1998, 688 farms totaling 103,915 acres have entered into agreements. Funds from the purchase of these easements are invested in the local economy by the landowners.

Using either a large cast iron griddle or 2 large cast iron pans heated to high, toast buns with butter; reserve to plates. Space beef balls on your hot cooking surface. Using a large metal spatula, smash each ball to 1/4-inch-thick patties. Using parchment helps avoid spatula sticking to beef. Season patties with 1 teaspoon of the special sauce per patty; salt and pepper. Sear 2-3 minutes or until some fat begins to bubble up in center of patty. Quickly flip and top four of the patties with a slice of cheese. Sear another minute and place a plain patty on top of a cheese patty; remove from the cooking surface.

Add brown sugar, cayenne and black pepper to a large resealable plastic bag. Use a spoon to combine the sugar with seasonings. Add several bacon wrapped sausages, seal bag and shake gently to coat. Repeat with all remaining sausages. Line sugar rubbed sausages on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 30-35 minutes, until bacon is cooked through.

In the KNOW...

Memorial Day, formerly known as Decoration Day, usually signals that summer is on the way and barbecue season is beginning. The U.S. flag should be raised to the top of the staff, and then lowered to half mast, where it remains until noon. At noon, it is raised to the top of the staff for the remainder of the day. What better way to celebrate the brave heroes who have died serving our country then by dusting off the grills, gathering family and friends and celebrating with a cheeseburger and a table full of great side dishes.

l Fresh Squeezed Lemonade

• 1 cup simple syrup: Sugar, water, lemon zest (recipe below)

• 1¼ cups fresh lemon juice, about 6-8 lemons

• 6 cups water

• Ice

• Extra lemon slices for garnish

For the syrup: Peel three long strips of zest off of the lemons. Combine 1½ cups sugar, 1½ cups water, and lemon zest in a small saucepan and bring just to a boil until sugar is dissolved. Cool completely. For juice: Cut fresh lemons in half and squeeze out the juice using a juicer. If you don’t have a juicer, place a fork in the lemon and gently squeeze while rocking the fork back and forth. You will need 1¼ cups lemon juice. Place 1¼ cups lemon juice and 1 cup of the simple syrup in a 2 quart pitcher. Add ice and 6 cups of cold water. Stir to combine. Taste and add more simple syrup if desired. Garnish with lemon slices.

Fold the edges of the pie crust up over the filling in pleats. Brush the edges with the beaten egg. Sprinkle with a pinch of cinnamon sugar or superfine sugar. Bake for 40 minutes or until the dough is golden brown. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.

l Pasta Salad

• 1 lb. radiatori pasta, uncooked

• 6 oz. salami

• 6 oz. pepperoni

• 1 pint grape tomatoes,  halved

• 1 green bell pepper, chopped

• 1 red bell pepper, chopped

• ½  cup red onion, chopped

• 8 oz. mozzarella pearls, halved

• 2 Tbsp.  fresh parsley, finely chopped

• 2 cups Italian dressing

• 2 Tbsp. Salad Supreme seasoning

• 1 garlic clove, minced

• Parmesan cheese, grated

Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for about 9-11 minutes or according to package instructions. Drain and rinse pasta under cold water to stop the cooking process and to cool the pasta down. Transfer the pasta to a large serving bowl. If not assembling the salad immediately, add some olive oil and toss together to prevent the pasta from sticking together. Otherwise, add remaining ingredients. Add Italian dressing, seasoning, and minced garlic, toss to combine. You can serve immediately with Parmesan on top, or cover the bowl tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Leftover rations

Earlier this year eggs topped $4 a dozen, and I decided maybe we would just give up eating. What is the caloric nutrient of air? Free air though. Not the kind you pay for at gas stations.

Groceries have just gotten so expensive. In lieu of giving up food, I decided to double down on food waste and get serious about not throwing out any $7 tomatoes or million dollar meat.

I try to clean out our refrigerator weekly prior to shopping, but I do concede that sometimes things get away from me. Too often, the “clean out” was a trash bag in one hand, as I lamented the loss of life among the leftovers stored in the balconies and back rows of our fridge.

Leftover. I don’t understand the mindset of people who say they don’t eat leftovers. Leftovers give me life. They also give me a break from coming up with new meal ideas every single day. I read once that marriage is just saying “what do you want for dinner?” to another person over and over for decades and sometimes that feels about right.

My grandmother was a leftover genius. Or, should I say, she was a genius in using leftover food to make amazing and delicious dishes. “Waste not, want not” was her mantra. No food was left behind.

I am certain the roots of this came from her Depression-Era childhood and World War II teenage years. She grew up on a thriving farm with a father who was well employed throughout, so in that way, she was very blessed. Rationing, however, still meant that creative cooking was the rule of the day.

Staples such as coffee, meat and sugar were all strictly rationed during World War II, which made cooking a bit of a challenge. My grandmother, like most of her generation, was tasked with making things last and stretch. Her work with casseroles was legendary.

Herbs are relatively low-maintenance plants that produce multiple harvests during the growing season. They can grow in limited space, indoors, outdoors or in containers. They don’t require a lot of sunlight or nutrients to grow. And they can be companion planted with a number of other herbs and vegetables.

Planting a herb garden is pretty straightforward and simple, however, a little bit of knowledge on the growing preferences of specific herbs can make your garden even more successful.

Companion planting is a technique gardeners use to prevent the spread of pests and diseases, cut down on weeding and ensure the needs of all of the plants within the garden are more easily met. Companion planting is done when herbs with similar growing preferences are grouped together and herbs are paired with vegetables that allow for ideal growing conditions as they mature.

Herbs and their companions

Basil

Herbs: Grows well with oregano and parsley.

Vegetables: Can be planted with tomatoes, peppers and lettuce.

Bay

Herbs: Grows well with rosemary, sage, thyme and parsley.

Vegetables: Can be planted with beans.

World’s oldest dog celebrates 31st birthday

CONQUEIROS, Portugal (AP) —

The world’s oldest dog recently celebrated his 31st birthday, according to Guinness World Records.

Bobi, a purebred Rafeiro do Alentejo, a breed of Portuguese dog, celebrated during a party May 13 at his home in the Portuguese village of Conqueiros, where has lived his entire life.

More than 100 people attended the “very traditional” Portuguese party, owner Leonel Costa said.

Local meats and fish were served to up to 100 guests, with extra for Bobi, who only eats human food. A dance troupe also performed with Bobi participating in one of their routines.

Costa has owned several old-age dogs in the past, including Bobi’s mother, Gira, who lived to age 18. However, Costa said he never imagined any of his dogs would reach their 30s.

“We see situations like this as a normal result of the life that they have, but Bobi is one of a kind,” Costa said.

One of the biggest contributing factors to Bobi’s longevity is the “calm, peaceful environment” in which he lives, according to Costa.

Throughout his life, Bobi has freely roamed the forests surrounding the Costa house. He has never been chained or leashed.

The “very sociable” dog was never lonely because he grew up surrounded by many other animals, Costa said.

Now in his senior years, Bobi finds it difficult to walk, so he prefers to hang out at home in the yard. His eyesight has gotten worse, meaning he often bumps into things when he walks. Just like old-age humans, Bobi sleeps a lot. He immediately lies down in bed after eating, although on cold days he chooses to nap by the fire, his owner said.

Bobi’s birth date has been confirmed by the Veterinary Medical Service of the Municipality of Leiria, which registered Bobi in 1992.

His age also has been verified by a pet database authorized by the Portuguese government.

Costa, now 38, was just 8 years old when Bobi was born. For him, Bobi is a living reminder of the past, he said.

“Bobi is special because looking at him is like remembering the people who were part of our family and unfortunately are no longer here, like my father, my brother, or my grandparents who have already left this world,” Costa said. “Bobi represents those generations.”

170-year-old wrench returning to Painesville

PAINESVILLE, Ohio — A 170-year-old artifact, a wrench used by the Cleveland, Painesville and Ashtabula Railroad, is returning to the Painesville Railroad Museum.

The Cleveland, Painesville and Ashtabula Railroad was incorporated in 1848, and the first train ran from Painesville to Cleveland in 1851. Today these tracks are owned by CSX.

The wrench was found on eBay, and Marylou Thompson, of North Canton, purchased it with the intent to donate it to the Painesville Railroad Museum.

The presentation will take place at 11 a.m. May 20 during Model Train Day at the Painesville Railroad Museum.

Adopt a Cow enrollment open now

HARRISBURG, Pa. — Discover Dairy’s “Adopt a Cow” program opened for enrollment for the 202324 school year, May 1.

The free program is a year-long, interactive learning opportunity that gives students an inside look at a dairy farm in the United States. Students participate in hands-on, educational activities featuring the calves on the farm and the dairy farmers who manage the operation.

Discover Dairy is a learning series managed by the Center for Dairy Excellence Foundation of Pennsylvania.

Each classroom that enrolls in the Adopt a Cow program is paired with a calf from a dairy farm. Teachers and students receive photos, video updates and activity sheets throughout the school year that allow them to watch their calf grow. The Adopt a Cow program also offers live virtual chats and farm tours.

Last year, more than 40,000 elementary and middle school classrooms, home school families, library groups and other organizations participated in the program.

Teachers who enroll in the Adopt a Cow program will receive

an introductory update in the fall with details about their calf. Classrooms will receive bi-monthly updates, including suggestions on components of the Discover Dairy curriculum that teachers can incorporate into their virtual or inperson lesson plans.

The sign-up period closes Sept. 15. To enroll in the Adopt a Cow program, visit discoverdairy.com/ adopt or contact the Dairy Excellence Foundation at 717-346-0849 for more information about how to share this program with your community.

Leftover rations

(Continued from Page B1)

To this day, I believe in my heart that anything can be edible if you just put it under a crust. Chicken pot pie is basically leftover chicken and vegetables in a crust. Ditto shepherd’s pie. Take your little dibs and dabs of leftovers and put them in a gravy, and then add biscuits. Done!

Soup. To this day if I cast a sideeye at some sad-looking vegetables in our refrigerator, I know its time to make stir fry — or soup. A common name is “trash soup” although you can call it something kinder if you like.

I keep soon-to-wilt vegetables in a bag in the freezer. When I end up with enough bits and pieces to really mean something, they are tossed into a pot with some beans, spices, beef or chicken stock and leftover noodles, potatoes or rice as available. Simmer it all together and you can turn “waste” into a delicious meal.

I always suggest adding salad and biscuits for best results. In fact, my family will assure you that I believe almost anything can be a meal if you just add a salad and biscuits. That pretty much goes with anything.

I’m working up the nerve to try and make my own bone broth and stock too. I haven’t tried it yet but I think I can figure it out.

Oleo. Back to my grandmother’s wise tutelage. I may be the only person by age who understands what “oleo” is. My grandmother referenced it often — not lovingly I might add.

Wartime rations meant that cooks had to come up with ways to make their butter go farther. Oleo is defined as “spreadable and can taste buttery when used directly from the tub or stick for everyday use as a butter substitute. Due to differences in the texture and makeup of oleo, it may or may not be a reasonable butter substitute for baking and cooking.”

I am here to assure you it is most certainly NOT a reasonable substitute for my baking. My grandmother had a few tried and true oleo recipes in her arsenal. However, as soon as the war was over, she went back to real butter.

Real butter IS a hill I am willing to die on. If I die due to high cholesterol — so be it. Just know I died doing what I loved — eating real butter baked goods.

There is one key component of my palate that came directly from my grandmother. Strong black coffee. One heavily rationed item was coffee. To get around shortages, people would fold chicory root into their coffee to make the grounds last as long as possible. Chicory root has a similar rich flavor with one major difference — there’s no caffeine.

I’m all for frugality and savings, but at this I have to draw the line. No caffeine sounds impossible and in my case, might actually lead to war. (Kymberly Foster Seabolt likes eating a little bit more than she does cooking. She welcomes comments at lifeoutloud@comcast. net; P.O. Box 38, Salem, OH 44460; or KymberlyFosterSeabolt.com.)

Ohio official used town funds to buy wildebeest

COLUMBUS — Cyril S. Vierstra, a former Vinton Township fiscal officer, convicted of theft in office and other criminal counts, used public funds to buy a wildebeest, two owls, windows for a primate exhibit at his roadside zoo, hot tubs, a snow cone machine and other personal purchases.

Details of the investigation into Vierstra of Wilkesville have been released as part of a special audit by the State’s Special Investigations Unit, which served as special prosecutor in the case.

SIU began its investigation after receiving a complaint from Vinton County Auditor Cindy Owings Waugh with allegations that Vierstra was misusing township debit and credit cards.

A subsequent review of bank records uncovered a number of questionable transactions between January 2016 and July 2020 to fund renovations to his residence and for expenses at the Union Ridge Wildlife Center, a nonprofit wildlife refuge he operated. He created fake invoices, billing slips, and other fraudulent documents to hide his activities.

Among other improper purchases, SIU determined Vierstra made 812 debit card transactions totaling $127,204 on an online auction website, including purchases of generators, bicycles, a video game system, tricycles, telescopes, a drone, and numerous other items not related to the operations of the township.

Other significant purchases included a wildebeest, two snow owls, animal food, custom-built enclosures for his residence and wildlife refuge, indoor and outdoor furniture and a dishwasher.

Vierstra pleaded guilty in October 2022 to felony counts of engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity, theft in office, and tampering with records, plus a misdemeanor count of dereliction of duty.

Now Here’s A Tip

By Jo Anne Derson

• I purchase rotisserie chickens and use the meat for different things — soup, casseroles, etc. I have a trick to getting the skin off. My hand strength isn’t what it used to be, and those birds are slippery. I use a paper towel to grip the skin, and pull the meat and bone right out. It works well on a raw bird too.

— L.A. in Florida

• To re-whiten socks or washcloths, try boiling a pot of water and adding a sliced, juiced lemon. Soak the items for at least an hour, and then pick out the lemon and add the pot — water and all — to a load of wash.

• If you have been cooking in the oven and have a pan that’s got cooked-on food, you can get it clean without all the scrubbing. Immediately after cooking, while the oven is still hot, add enough water to cover the bottom of the pan and a little dishsoap. Put it in the oven until the oven is cool. The residual heat will work on the stuck-on food while you are dining, and it’ll wipe right out.

Norfolk Southern train derails in Pennsylvania

NEW CASTLE, Pa. (AP) — Nine railcars from a Norfolk Southern freight train derailed in Pennsylvania, with no hazardous chemicals on board and no reported injuries, fire department and company officials said.

The derailment happened late May 10 outside of New Castle, the company said in a statement.

“Our crews responded immediately and are actively working at the site,” the statement said.

The New Castle Fire Department said that at least some of the cars that derailed contained paraffin wax and soybeans.

New Castle is about 50 miles

northwest of Pittsburgh near the Pennsylvania-Ohio state line.

The derailment comes amid heightened attention to rail safety nationwide after a fiery derailment in February of Norfolk Southern railcars in East Palestine, Ohio. Half of the town’s 5,000 residents were evacuated as emergency responders burned off chemicals to prevent an uncontrolled explosion.

The company has renewed a promise to create a fund for residents near the site of that wreck to cover any decline in home values since the derailment.

Tramp art emerged after Civil War

By Terry and Kim Kovel

The most heartfelt things are made by hand. This picture frame can surround a loved one with colorful hearts. It’s an example of American folk art known as “tramp art.”

Tramp art emerged after the Civil War and continued its popularity through the Great Depression. Frames were made from reclaimed wood, usually cigar boxes or shipping crates, and carved with everyday tools like penknives.

Tramp artists made all kinds of items, from small decorative boxes or picture frames to functional pieces of furniture. As a form of folk art, there are no strict rules or established patterns, but the most famous pieces are made with chip or notched carving and are not painted.

This frame, which brought $315 at a Pook & Pook auction, is unusual. The characteristic notches can be seen around the circles in the corners and on the exposed ends of the wood pieces, but the frame also features smooth-edged hearts painted red and yellow.

Q. I was given a box of old perfume bottles. One has dark blue glass, and the label reads “Evening in Paris.” The cap and label are silver. Can you tell me about this perfume and are the bottles valuable?

A. The French cosmetics company Bourjois made “Evening in Paris” (Soir De Paris) in 1928. It was one of the most popular fragrances sold in the United States through World War II. The perfume was discontinued in 1969.

Perfumer Ernest Beaux created the fragrance for Bourjois. He is also known for creating “Chanel No. 5.” The cobalt blue bottles of “Evening in Paris” are collectibles. A set of four empty bottles like yours recently sold for $59.

Hello from Hazard!

We had several of our readers know what Item No. 1246 is. Randy Winland, of Prospect, Ohio, said it is a frog gigger. The metal part is connected to a long wooden pole similar to a broom handle. The opened jaws are put around a frog and the center button depressed when it hits the frog’s back resulting in the spring action jaws clamping shut trapping the frog, Randy said.

Bill Myatt said it is a mechanical fish gig mostly used for ice fishing for pike.

Larry Anderson, of Youngstown, adds it is a musky clamp. He said it is for fishing a large musky. He also adds it is illegal to use one.

Keith Greathouse, of Uniontown, Ohio, submitted Item No. 1246. The jaws open up and clamp down when contact is made.

David, of Jamestown, Pennsylvania, said Item No. 1246 is a spring loaded fish gaff for frogs or fish.

7,100 Native American remains could be laid to rest in Ohio

COLUMBUS (AP) — Thousands of Native American remains in Ohio could finally be laid to rest under a provision that has passed the State House, the start of a process that tribal members have waited on for decades.

The Ohio History Connection, a nonprofit organization that works to preserve Ohio history, currently has over 7,100 ancestral remains and funerary objects like pieces of clothing or jewelry in its possession that should have been returned under a loosely followed federal law in the 1990s, a ProPublica investigation found as part of a look into U.S. museums and universities still holding Native American remains.

The organization has the thirdlargest amount of these remains in

the country, following the University of California at Berkeley and the Illinois State Museum.

The language in the state’s operating budget paves the way for the nonprofit to use any land it owns — currently about 6 acres set aside for an intertribal burial ground — to bury the remains, The Columbus Dispatch reported.

But the organization can’t use the land to bury the remains until it’s designated a burial ground by the Legislature.

The amendment also requires that Ohio History Connection work with “federally recognized Indian tribal governments” on the selection and use of those sites. The nonprofit said it has already been working for about 15 years with tribal partners

on how to best care for the remains, though repatriation talks did not start until around 2016, the Dispatch reported.

“We believe very strongly their spirit never rests until they are reconnected with Mother Earth,” Glenna Wallace, chief of the Eastern Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma, told the Dispatch. Wallace’s ancestors lived in Ohio before they were forced out in the early 1800s.

But before the remains can be reconnected, the provision must make it through the Ohio Senate’s consideration of the budget, which lawmakers must pass by June 30.

Fishermen caught cheating at Ohio tournament sentenced

CLEVELAND (AP) — Two men who admitted stuffing fish with lead weights and fish fillets in an attempt to win thousands of dollars in an Ohio fishing tournament last fall were sentenced May 11 to10-day jail terms and other penalties, including the forfeiture of a boat valued at $100,000.

The cheating allegations surfaced in September when Jason Fischer, Lake Erie Walleye Trail tournament director, became suspicious of the fish turned in by Jacob Runyan, 43, of Ashtabula, Ohio; and Chase Cominsky, 36, of Hermitage, Pennsylvania, were significantly heavier than typical walleye.

A crowd of people at Gordon Park in Cleveland watched as Fischer cut

the freshwater fish open, and found weights and walleye fillets stuffed inside.

As part of a plea deal, Runyan and Cominsky pleaded guilty in March to cheating and unlawful ownership of wild animals — and agreed to threeyear suspensions of their fishing licenses. Cominsky also agreed to give up his bass boat worth $100,000.

Once the pair complete their county jail terms, they will serve a year and a half on probation and must each pay a $2,500 fine — though half the fine will be waived if they each make a $1,250 donation to a nonprofit organization that promotes fishing with children. If they violate their probation, they could face an additional 30-day county jail sentence.

According to search warrant affidavits, five walleye contained lead weights and fillets. Officers from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources confiscated the fish as evidence.

They would have received a little over $28,000 in prizes for winning the tournament.

Court records also said that Runyan and Cominsky were investigated near Toledo in the spring of 2022 after being accused of cheating in a different walleye tournament. According to a police report, a prosecutor concluded that although the men may have cheated, there was not enough evidence to charge them.

A total of 31 semi-finalist auctioneers will compete in the championship event.

Daniel Mitchell of Cumberland, Ohio, and Ben Morgan of Organ Cave, West Virginia, are qualified to compete.

Reigning World Livestock Auctioneer Champion, Will Epperly, will be in attendance, along with many other former World Livestock Auctioneer Champions. Each will sell cattle during the Parade of Champions, a portion of the WLAC sale between the semi-finalist and finalist rounds.

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio — Mahoning Valley Historical Society will be featuring some of the works of nationally acclaimed local painter and sculptor Maple Turner III in a new exhibit that opens, May 20.

The exhibit will be held in the Youngstown Foundation Community History Gallery, inside Tyler History Center, 325 W. Federal St. in downtown Youngtown.

Museum hours are noon until 4 p.m., Tuesdays through Sundays, and regular admission prices apply, which are $7 for adults, $6 for seniors and $5 for children. MVHS members and active/retired military are free.

This exhibit, “Wick Avenue: Millionaire’s Row 1890” by Maple Turner III, takes the viewer to the turn-ofthe-century homes of Youngstown’s Wick Avenue, Fifth Avenue and Crandall Park, with images also featuring men’s and women’s period dress. The exhibit also includes sculpture pieces and city street scenes done by the artist while living in New York.

Clean up: Ohio removes plastic pollution from Great Lakes

CLEVELAND — In April 2022, Meijer, a Midwest retailer, donated $1 million to the Council of the Great Lakes Region’s charitable arm to clean up beaches and waterways with the purchase and use of an electric, eco-friendly beach cleaning robot called the BeBot and a floating, remote-controlled, mobile waste collector called the PixieDrone. The project will collect and analyze the litter in order to generate valuable data that will help coastal communities and the region learn about and prevent plastic litter and pollution and protect the Great Lakes.

Thanks to a partnership with the binational Council of the Great Lakes Region through the Great Lakes Plastic Cleanup, a joint initiative of CGLR and Canada-based Pollution Probe, as well as generous funding and support provided from Meijer, Ohio Sea Grant plans to deploy the two devices at Hinckley Reservation and Fairport Harbor Beach, as well as other locations along the Ohio coast, in collaboration with local partners, Cleveland Metroparks, Lake Metroparks, Eriesponsible, Cuyahoga Community College Youth Technology Academy, Argonauts, and Port of Cleveland.

The Great Lakes region makes up 84% of North America’s surface freshwater and provides water for 107 million residents, and habitats for thousands of species, many unique to the region. Models estimate as much as 22 million pounds of plastic could be entering the Great Lakes every year through a variety of sources and pathways, polluting the lakes and their surrounding watersheds and could cost hundreds of millions of US dollars annually to combat.

Ohio Agricultural Council announces 2023-24 scholarships

COLUMBUS — Each year, the Ohio Agricultural Council offers up to three $1,500 scholarships annually to Ohio high school seniors who plan to pursue a degree in agriculture and up to three $1,500 scholarships to undergraduate college students from Ohio who are currently pursuing a degree in agriculture.

The 2023-24 recipients of the scholarship program:

Haven Hileman is a junior at The Ohio State University. She is the daughter of Ed and Robin Hileman. Through involvement with organizations like 4-H, FFA, and Farm Bureau, Haven has discovered a love for advocating and educating others about the agriculture industry. Haven is majoring in animal sciences at OSU and, upon graduation, plans to become an agricultural education teacher and raise livestock on her family farm.

Lauren Mellott grew up on a small grain farm in Butler, Ohio, where she learned the importance of the agricultural industry and found her passion for providing education about and advocating for the industry that provides the world

with food, fuel, and fiber. This led her to pursue a degree in agriscience education with minors in agribusiness and production agriculture. Upon graduation, Lauren plans to become an agricultural educator.

Laura Wuebker is a sophomore at Oklahoma State University where she is pursuing a dual major in agricultural communications and agribusiness. She grew up on her family’s diversified livestock and grain operation in Versailles, Ohio. Through being involved in FFA, 4-H, and working as a farm broadcaster for WTGR Radio Station and the Ohio Ag Net, Laura developed a passion and love for the agriculture industry. Upon graduation, Laura plans to obtain a job in the agriculture communications or public policy sector to help share and advocate for the story of agriculture.

Joseph Bruns is a recent graduate of Anna High School and will be an incoming freshman at The Ohio State University ATI where he plans to major in animal science and agribusiness and economics. The son of Ron & Margie Bruns, Joseph grew up on their family farm and developed a love for raising swine and beef cattle. During high school he worked for a local butcher shop which ignited a passion for the meat processing industry. His plan after college is to work in the animal and meat processing industry and eventually own his own abattoir or butcher shop.

Adeline Kendle is a recent graduate of New Philadelphia High School and an incoming freshman majoring in animal science/pre-vet at the University of Findlay. Adeline developed her passion for agriculture through her many years of raising and showing animals and her involvement in the Tuscarawas County 4-H program. Upon graduation Adeline plans to attend veterinary school, focusing on large animals and specializing in animal chiropractic care.

Adrianna Meyer is a recent graduate of Liberty Center High School and will be attending The Ohio State University ATI to study community leadership with a specialization in extension education and agribusiness. Her passion for educating others about the agricultural industry stemmed from her extensive involvement in Ohio 4-H, including raising goats and sheep for her county fair projects. Her experiences in 4-H have led her to pursue a career in extension education upon graduation from college.

Food prices fall on world markets but not kitchen tables

By Paul Wiseman and Evelyne Musambi

Associated Press Writers

A restaurant on the outskirts of Nairobi skimps on the size of its chapatis — a flaky, chewy Kenyan flatbread — to save on cooking oil. Cash-strapped Pakistanis reluctantly go vegetarian, dropping beef and chicken from their diets because they can no longer afford meat. In Hungary, a cafe pulls burgers and fries off the menu, trying to dodge the high cost of oil and beef.

Around the world, food prices are persistently, painfully high. Puzzlingly, too. On global markets, the prices of grains, vegetable oil, dairy and other agricultural commodities have fallen steadily from record highs. But the relief hasn’t made it to the real world of shopkeepers, street vendors and families trying to make ends meet.

“We cannot afford to eat lunch and dinner on most days because we still have rent and school fees to pay,” said Linnah Meuni, a Kenyan mother of four.

She says a 4.4-pound packet of corn flour costs twice what she earns a day selling vegetables at a kiosk.

Food prices were already running high when Russia invaded Ukraine in February last year, disrupting trade in grain and fertilizer and sending prices up even more. But on a global scale, that price shock ended long ago.

The United Nations says food prices have fallen for 12 straight months, helped by decent harvests in places like Brazil and Russia and a fragile wartime agreement to allow grain shipments out of the Black Sea.

The U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization’s food price index is lower than it was when Russian troops entered Ukraine. Still climbing. Yet somehow ex-

orbitant food prices that people have little choice but to pay are still climbing, contributing disproportionately to painfully high inflation from the United States and Europe to the struggling countries of the developing world.

Food markets are so interconnected that “wherever you are in the world, you feel the effect if global prices go up,” said Ian Mitchell, an economist and London-based co-director of the Europe program at the Center for Global Development.

Why is food price inflation so intractable, if not in world commodity markets, then where it counts — in bazaars and grocery stores and kitchen tables around the world?

Joseph Glauber, former chief economist at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, notes that the price of specific agricultural products — oranges, wheat, livestock — are just the beginning.

In the United States, where food

prices were up 8.5% last month from a year earlier, he says that “75% of the costs are coming after it leaves the farm. It’s energy costs. It’s all the processing costs. All the transportation costs. All the labor costs.’’

And many of those costs are embedded in so-called core inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy prices and has proven stubbornly hard to wring out of the world economy. Food prices soared 19.5% in the European Union last month from a year earlier and 19.2% in the U.K., the biggest increase in nearly 46 years.

Food inflation, Glauber says, “will come down, but it’s going to come down slowly, largely because these other factors are still running pretty high.”

Reduced competition. Others, including U.S. President Joe Biden, see another culprit: a wave of mergers that have, over the years, reduced competition in the food industry.

The White House last year complained that just four meatpacking companies control 85% of the U.S. beef market. Likewise, just four firms control 70% of the pork market and 54% of the poultry market. Those companies, critics say, can and do use their market power to raise prices.

Glauber, now a senior research fellow at the International Food Policy Research Institute, isn’t convinced that consolidation in agribusiness is to blame for persistently high food prices.

Sure, he says, big agribusinesses can rake in profits when prices rise. But things usually even out over time, and their profits diminish in lean times.

“There’s a lot of market factors right now, fundamentals, that can explain why we have such inflation,” he says. “I couldn’t point my finger at the fact that we just have a handful of meat producers.”

Around the globe. Outside the United States, he says, a strong dollar is to blame for keeping prices high. In other recent food-price crunches, like in 2007-2008, the dollar wasn’t especially strong.

“This time around, we’ve had a strong dollar and an appreciating dollar,” Glauber said. “Prices for corn and wheat are quoted in dollars per ton.

You put that in local currency terms, and because of the strong dollar, that means they haven’t seen” the price drops that show up in commodity markets and the U.N. food price index.

In Kenya, drought added to food shortages and high prices arising from the impact of war in Ukraine, and costs have stayed stubbornly high ever since.

Corn flour, a staple in Kenyan households that is used to make corn meal known as ugali, has doubled in price over the last year. After the 2022 elections, President William Ruto ended subsidies meant to cushion consumers from higher prices. Nonetheless, he has promised to bring down corn flour prices.

Kenyan millers bought wheat when global prices were high last year; they also have been contending

with high production costs arising from bigger fuel bills.

In response, small Kenyan restaurants like Mark Kioko’s have had to raise prices and sometimes cut back on portions.

“We had to reduce the size of our chapatis because even after we increased the price, we were suffering because cooking oil prices have also remained high,” Kioko says.

In Hungary, people are increasingly unable to cope with the biggest spike in food prices in the EU, reaching 45% in March.

To keep up with rising ingredient costs, Cafe Csiga in central Budapest has raised prices by around 30%.

“Our chef closely follows prices on a daily basis, so the procurement of kitchen ingredients is tightly controlled,” said the restaurant’s general manager, Andras Kelemen. The café even dropped burgers and French fries from the menu.

Joszef Varga, a fruit and vegetable seller in Budapest’s historic Grand Market Hall, says his wholesale costs have risen by 20% to 30%. All his customers have noticed the price spikes — some more than others.

“Those with more money in their wallets buy more, and those with less buy less,” he said. “You can feel it significantly in people, they complain that everything is more expensive.”

In Pakistan, shop owner Mohammad Ali says some customers are going meatless, sticking to vegetables and beans instead. Even the price of vegetables, beans, rice and wheat are up as much as 50%.

Sitting at her mud-brick home outside the capital of Islamabad, 45-yearold widow Zubaida Bibi says: “Our life was never easy, but now the price of everything has increased so much that it has become difficult to live.”

This month, she stood in a long line to get free wheat from Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif’s government during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. Bibi works as a maid, earning just 8,000 Pakistani rupees ($30) a month.

“We need many other things, but we don’t have enough money to buy food for our children,” she said.

She gets money from her younger brother Sher Khan to stay afloat. But he’s vulnerable, too: Rising fuel costs may force him to close his roadside tea stall.

“Increasing inflation has ruined my budget,” he said. “I earn less and spend more.”

Take me back: Archaeologist to speak on native history of Richfield

RICHFIELD, Ohio — Join the Richfield Historical Society for a TakeMeBack Series illustrated presentation by Cleveland State University archaeologist Phil Wanyerka, May 21 at 2 p.m. at Richfield Fellowship Hall, 3903 Broadview Road. The presentation will focus on “The Archaeology and Prehistory of the Richfield Heritage Preserve.”

Although ancient Native Americans arrived in Richfield, and adjacent Cuyahoga Valley, more than 13,000 years ago, historically little has been published regarding the

archaeology and ancient prehistory of the native peoples who called the Richfield Heritage Preserve home.

Wanyerka has been exploring and conducting archaeological investigations in Richfield and adjacent Cuyahoga Valley for almost 40 years. He is a senior college lecturer in the Department of World Languages, Literatures and Cultures at Cleveland State University. He is an expert classic Mayan epigrapher (decipherer) and is the leading authority on the hieroglyphic inscriptions and ancient prehistory of Southern Belize.

In addition, he has spent more nearly 40 years conducting archaeological and geophysical investigations at numerous prehistoric and historic sites throughout the Woodlands of Eastern North America, specializing in the archaeology and prehistory of the northeast Ohio. No reservations are required for this free program, which is open to the public. Call 330-659-4750 for additional information and check the society’s website, richfieldohiohistoricalsociety.org, for any event updates.

Motorcyclists exhibit debuts at The Crawford

CLEVELAND — The Crawford Auto-Aviation Museum, 10825 East Blvd., has a new addition to its permanent motorcycle exhibit: 13 lifesized paintings titled “Motorcyclists of the Seventies.” The artwork depicts the many ways that motorcyclists use their rides, from racing, pleasure riding and social clubs to fleeing a war-torn country.

The 5 foot-by-7 foot paintings were completed between 1973 and

1981 by the late Shirley Aley Campbell, a 1947 graduate of the Cleveland Institute of Art and 1986 Cleveland Arts Prize recipient. Local businessman Joseph Erdelac commissioned Campbell to do the paintings after seeing one of her paintings in the May Show at the Cleveland Museum of Art in the early 1970s.

The paintings were “rescued” by 78th Street Studios owner Daniel Bush in about 2012, when the works

were scheduled to be sold at auction.

While the paintings have been displayed at 78th Street Studios, they’ve been in storage for many years.

“I’m excited to have the paintings in the public eye to enjoy again,” said Bush. “And to have them at the Crawford Museum adjacent to their permanent motorcycle exhibit is amazing. I think Shirley would have loved it.”

Series looks at life of Warren Packard

WARREN, Ohio — The Warren Packard Museum will present the first of a two-part lecture series titled, “Warren Packard: Patriarch and Entrepreneur,” May 20 at 12:15 p.m. This one-hour educational program is open to the public and free with paid admission to the museum.

Few recognize his name today, let alone realize all he accomplished, but a century ago, Warren Packard was revered as one of the most im-

portant figures in early Mahoning Valley history.

This month’s lecture will explore Warren Packard’s early life.

Part 2. The second part of this series will be held June 24 and will chronicle Warren Packard’s illustrious, yet often precarious, career in the timber and lumber industries. Learn about one of the Mahoning Valley’s most important early entrepreneurs.

The National Packard Museum

is open Tuesday through Saturday from noon to 5 p.m., and Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m. Admission is $10 for adults, $8 for seniors (65 and older), $5 for children (ages 7-12), and children under 7 are free.

Cameras and flash photography are welcome. For group rates or more information, visit the website at packardmuseum.org visit Facebook and Instagram, or call 330-3941899.

Eagles of all sorts soar this spring

and March. The incubation period is roughly between 34 and 36 days. The hatchlings will stay in the nest until their first attempt at flying between 10 and 14 weeks.

The abundance of bald eagle sightings in May is most likely attributed to the feeding schedule in the nest. After the eaglets hatch, the female tends them in the nest and the male brings the food for the first 2 to 3 weeks. Then the female begins feeding the young as well. Together, the adults will bring 4 or 5 prey to the nest each day for the eaglets.

Luckily for us, there was a local airport participating, all we had to do was register online. I knew the highlight for the boys would be the flight itself, but I didn’t realize how impactful interactions with the volunteers would be as they shared their passion for aviation and knowledge of airplanes.

Along with bright green leaves and warmer weather, the return of many birds to my yard is a welcome sight. Even more exciting is spotting a powerfully built bald eagle, its large form perched in a tree or swooping down to capture some unassuming prey — or even snacking on roadkill, but I choose to block that particular image from my memory.

Jackson County celebrates Wellston Recreation Complex improvements

WELLSTON, Ohio — The Ohio Department of Natural Resources and numerous local dignitaries celebrated improvements to the Wellston Recreation Complex, April 29 with a ribbon cutting ceremony.

The Wellston Recreation Complex project, in Jackson County, is funded by the Abandoned Mine Land Economic Revitalization Program provided by the U.S. Department of the Interior’s Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement. The project will create new recreational opportunities by making associated improvements at the park including baseball field lighting and expansion, a new soccer field and paved trails that will link the Wellston High School property to the complex.

The AMLER Program provides grants to the six Appalachian states, including Ohio, with the highest amount of unfunded Priority 1 and Priority 2 Abandoned Mine Land problems. That money speeds up renovations at AML sites with new projects that advance community development and the local economy.

At completion, nearly $2 million will be utilized for improvements at the Wellston Recreation Complex. The project development, design and construction oversite was provided by the ODNR Division of Mineral Resources Management.

Community involvement included the cooperation of Make Wellston Beautiful, the City of Wellston, and the Wellston City School District.

The City of Wellston was once a coal mining town that thrived during the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. Extensive underground and surface mining occurred in the Quakertown No. 2 coal seam. The recreation complex in Wellston is in a city park that historically was part of the Dayton Coal and Iron No. 2 underground mine operated by the Dayton Coal and Iron Company that was aban-

doned in 1910. In addition, the area between what is now the city park, and the high school was surface mined and several pit impoundments remain.

In the last few years, Make Wellston Beautiful has made improvements to the Wellston park increasing recreational traffic onsite. The Wellston Recreation Complex scope of work included filling the hazardous water body while maintaining flow and adding additional onsite parking to reduce or eliminate the need to park along the highway.

BRYCE ANGELL

A WRANGLER’S RECKLESS WRITINGS

Two old friends

I placed the saddle on his back, then pulled the cinch up tight. Old Cyrus turned and looked at me. He knew we’d be all right.

I’d seen that look a thousand times. We’d earned each other’s trust. And at my age a gentle horse, for dang sure is a must.

Old Cyrus ain’t no young one. I’d say prob’ly 22. In human years we’re ‘bout the same. They say a rest is due.

I wonder if old Cyrus feels the stiffness from his age? The way my crooked fingers feel from rheumatism’s rage.

It seems like only yesterday, when I went off to work. The old men called me youngster and that drove me plumb berserk.

But now I look at Cyrus. He and I have both grown old. Now no one calls me youngster. It’s the wrinkles, I’ve been told.

And Cyrus doesn’t seem to have that spring left in his step. It’s obvious the two of us have up and lost our pep.

Some cowboys say that when a horse has lost his usefulness, “Just take him to the sale. It’s not a sign of selfishness.”

I can’t imagine any other fellow on my horse. The bond between a horse and rider shares a mighty force.

Old Cyrus has been good to me and I’ve been good to him. The chance of selling Cyrus, well I’d say it’s mighty slim.

Most trainers tell you that a horse should never be a friend. I guess I broke that rule, ‘cuz he’s my friend right to the end.

I owe it to my horse to never let him be alone. Some call it foolish but to me a debt that’s carved in stone.

So soon enough we’ll turn him out to pasture for a time. I’ll feed and keep him company and hope that God is kind.

And may there be a place for him, up there in heaven’s great. I hope I’m close behind him. May it be the shortest wait.

And when I get so doggone old and need someone to care. I hope I’m treated kindly ‘til I meet old Cyrus there.

(Bryce Angell’s father was an outfitter and guide for 35 years, and Bryce was there to shoe and care for the horses and help him do the cooking.

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources and numerous local dignitaries celebrated improvements to the Wellston Recreation Complex, April 29, with a ribbon cutting ceremony. (Submitted photo)

Eagles of all sorts soar this spring

BodyOnce in the air, the higher altitude provided the boys with an eagle’s eye view of the surrounding area. Having grown up fishing in Mosquito Lake, they saw it for the first time from the air. What normally takes 15 minutes to cruise in the fishing boat from the causeway to the boat launch passed in seconds.

Aquatic invaders. What surprised them was their ability in the air to see several large growths of weeds in the water. We are assuming that the weeds they could see from the plane are the same ones that have been damaging boat motors and threatening the lake’s ecosystem in recent years.

The main aquatic invader is Hydrilla verticillata, which is also known as hydrilla, water thyme and Indian star-vine. The problem with hydrilla is that it blocks out sunlight and prevents oxygen production in the water. It also increases water temperature and affects the pH levels.

Native species cannot grow in the conditions created by hydrilla. Thick growths of hydrilla form something like a blanket, trapping fish and disrupting spawning. Another threat to the ecosystem is the Eurasian watermilfoil. In shallow areas of the lake, it grows quickly, also forming thick mats that block sunlight.

Both hydrilla and Eurasian watermilfoil can easily spread throughout the lake threatening the diversity of

native plants. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources along with the Ohio EPA are exploring options for eradicating the invasive species in the lake without harming native species or the drinking water supply.

After flying over Mosquito Lake, the boys were able to see other local areas before heading back towards the airport. The ride back was a little bumpier as the boys experienced the effects of thermals during the flight.

It was a phenomenal experience for them to learn more about aviation.

Campground exploration. We had reservations to camp at Mosquito Lake State Park campground after their flight. In one day, they were able to see the lake from the air and explore the land around it on foot.

We were impressed with recent renovations to the campground including new shower houses and improved drainage close to the lake. In addition to the natural playground in the woods, a new playground was installed in a central location.

Even among hundreds of campers, early morning bird calls filled the air. We didn’t see another bald eagle, but mourning doves cooed softly and a Northern mockingbird chirped and trilled on repeat. From soaring heights to the quiet calm of early mornings, it was a wonderful weekend close to home.

HAY EQUIPMENT

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.

REMEMBER THE OLD ADAGE: IF IT SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, IT PROBABLY IS!

Wilson Farms

If this or a similar scam has happened to you, please do not hesitate to contact Farm and Dairy at 800-837-3419 or contact the Consumer Protection Division of the Attorney General of your state.
