Despite food banks wanting to solve the same issues as food pantries, they are unable to operate as a food pantry does. That means any individual who is seeking assistance will most likely not be able to get it from a food bank.
Doege would like the community to know the difference between food banks and pantries so everyone in need will be aware of where they can go to get the assistance they need. If the difference between the two is established clearly within the community, it is his hope there won’t be as much confusion for everyone in the future.See listing of local food pantries inside on page 3.
about making sure the community knows that banks and pantries are not the same. “We do get a lot of people who come here who think we operate like a pantry,” Doege stated, “but unfortunately we can’t open the doors to the community or they will have to stay open.”

Banks have significantly larger amounts of food, typically in containers that can hold mass amounts of food or kept boxed-up for safe storage and transport. The banks are often supplied by grocery stores; they receive excess or near-expiration food items. They also purchase and redistribute food items to the pantries.Food pantries have community co-
Food banks and pantries serve the same cause; they want to provide aid for anyone in their area who is struggling with food insecurity. However, banks and pantries differ in the way they provide suchFoodhelp. banks, comparable to a warehouse-type storage facility, are responsible for acquiring, storing and distributing food items to food pantries. Pantries, on the other hand, are responsible for the communication and small-scale distribution aspect. Pantries are where private individuals can go to get the food items they need.

K21 Health Foundation awards $55K grant to Pleasant View Bible Church for new playground
for every three children who need care.This limits the workforce of Kosciusko County and hinders the ability of local employers to attract and retain talent. Pleasant View Bible Church is committed to bridging that gap and already offers opportunities for active play and skillbuilding with its annual T-ball ministry, which currently serves more than 100 children.
Kosciusko County has been deemed a child care desert by the Early Learning Advisory Committee, the Governor’s task force on early learning. A recent report noted a shortage of about 1,700 child care seats in the county, which accounts for only one child care seat
with a capacity for 84 children at any given time. The playground will facilitate the children’s recreation in a fun and safe environment, motivating an active lifestyle Monday through Friday year-round.
First Baptist Church is located at 208 W. Market St., Pierceton. For more information, call (574) 594-2197.
The nearest playground is 3 miles from the church, meaning the new playground will meet the needs of many more local families.
“We’re very thankful for our partnership with K21 and our shared desire to help the kids and families in our community thrive,” said Mike Hontz, senior pastor. “In addition to day care attendees, this playground can be used by the siblings of our T-ball ministry family participants. It is also open to our surrounding community whenever the day care facility is not open for business.”

Bishop agreed, saying the market prices certainly haven’t completely reflected the increased costs being incurred by the farmers to plant, tend and harvest their crops, damaging their overall bottom lines.

FALL FARMING
“The harvest is coming along nicely,” he said in an interview last week. “Seed corn has already started. The yield is along the trendline. We’ve had a decent amount of moisture the last part of the season, which has been beneficial.”
Bob Bishop has planted and harvested his share of crops in Kosciusko County. This year, the Leesburg area farmer is working his 50th growing season, farming somewhere between 4,000-5,000 acres between Leesburg and the north side of Warsaw, including corn, soybeans and wheat.
“But it’s not just nitrogen,” he added. “It’s herbicide, insecticide, the cost of seeds for beans and corn,Addtoo.”tothose increases the price of diesel fuel to run the tractors, combines and semi trucks to get the harvest to storage or market, and the amount of money that actually makes it to the bank is most certainly less than in past years.

There was a great deal of con-

“The market has rebounded a lot, but our general profit is a lot less this year because of all the increased costs.”

The problem for Bishop and his fellow farmers during the past two years, however, has been the skyrocketing costs of input, or how much it costs to get to crops
Bishop noted the overall weather this season has benefited farmers more this year than last. He pointed out last year, white mold in soybeans was more prevalent because of soggy fields, which kills the beans and hurts the overall yield. He also said last year’s corn harvest was devastated by tar spot.

Long honored to be a ‘River Friendly Farmer’
Every year since 2000, each of Indiana’s county soil and water conservation districts has nominated up to two farmers who do an outstanding job of protecting their rivers, lakes and streams through everyday conservation management practices on their farm. Watershed organizations also can nominate farmers for the award by submitting an application to a county SWCD. Since the award’s inception, more than 1,100 farmers from around the state have received the honor.

“I didn’t want to be tempted to go back, and since then the farm has continued to get better year after year,” he said, adding his work with Notre Dame has shown that no-till and cover crops can reduce soil nutrient loss.
For the past 22 years, Hoosier conservation and agricultural organizations have sponsored the River Friendly Farmer Program. Sponsored by Indiana Farm Bureau, the statewide initiative recognizes farmers, who through good production management practices help keep Indiana’s rivers, lakes and streams clean. Kosciusko County’s Mike Long was one of 47 farmers who joined that noteworthy list of Hoosier farmers during a ceremony held Aug. 18, 2021, at the Indiana State Fairgrounds in Indianapolis, at which they were recognized for their ‘river friendly’ efforts. In February of this year, Long was honored locally for the award during the 65th annual Kosciusko County Soil and Water Conservation District meeting.
what we’re doing is better,” Long said. “I’m not going to say we have all the answers, because I’m now 60 years old and the older I get the more I realize I have to unlearn just as much as I learn every year.

She also braces them, which makes them flex their muscles to build up muscle tone.
Lortie’s SAE is to double her goat herd from six to 12. She hopes to do this before she ages out of 4-H in two years.
The ideal size for showing: for bucks and market does, 60-80 pounds; for commercial does, 90100 pounds; breeding does, 100150 pounds or even pushing 200 pounds.Lortie explained the difference between a market goat and a commercial goat: While both are used for meat, the commercial goat is more feminine looking. Market goats are ready for slaughter at 7-8 months of age. Lortie said an ideal market goat “has a square build, good muscle tone, but not superLortiefat.”doesn’t have any bucks, since they’re more work and can be temperamental. They are also larger and harder to manage. “They also smell really bad,” she said. Her family also doesn’t have the barn space for a buck.

Lortie is currently getting ready to show one of her goats in a national show in November. National shows bring much more competition. Not only is she competing against animals from around the country, but also different characteristics.Forexample, Indiana judges prefer goats to have good muscle tone, be stout and have pounds of product.

At that time, the farm had 16 cows along with some pigs and chickens.

Both Jeff and Joe said the economy has had an impact on the farm. Vaccine supply was disrupted at one point because the focus had shifted so much on producing COVID vaccines. As a result, Jeff said there was a two-month stretch in 2021 when they had a harder time getting the vaccines for the cows. They vaccinate the cows for everything right from the time they are born. Joe chimed in and said an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Joe said Roger has helped many kids with 4-H over the years. Joe was also involved in 4-H at one time. He said Roger also acquired some Jersey cows along with his Holsteins.Rogerhas been handling all the farming operations for the past eight years. Jeff Prough is his herdsman. Jeff is kind of a jack-of-alltrades and helps Roger with many of the day-to-day operations of the farm. His role is absolutely vital to the farming operations.
Joe Hibschman retired in 2015 and his son Roger Hibschman took over the full operation of Oneeda Farms. Oneeda Farms is a Holstein farm with over 200 cows.
Joe has a daughter who, along
with her family, milks an organic herd in Gravel Switch, Ky. His other daughter and her husband help every now and then with the farm. Joe said things have changed over the years. They do things much differently now. “The way the milk is handled is different and everything needs to be sanitized from the start. It’s just a whole different ball game,” he said.

Renewing the art of beekeeping
One issue is varroa mites. Fox said varroa mites are one of the main threats to bee colonies outside of herbicides and pesticides. He said with any animal husbandry you have to have a plan in place. There are a variety of ways to control against varroa mites, though you never totally get rid of them.Fox typically prepares for the winter by packing boxes full of resources. During the fall, he watches each colony and if one needs help, he is willing to throw extra sugar water on it trying to pack each cell in with more nutrition to help produce more honey.
Fox said County Farm Bees is an all-encompassing beekeeping operation. If someone has a question, they are available for consultation. They supply equipment starting with the first box to how to prep for the winter months.
The biggest thing is the pollens that are being brought in by the different flowers — I am not a doctor, but if people are trying to take care of their seasonal allergies by filtering out the pollens, it probably won’t help as much,” he said.
ness — County Farm Bees. “The art of beekeeping is something old and we don’t want to lose it,” said Fox.Fox started out eight years ago with just a couple hives. He and his father have now expanded their operation to 45 hives. His father has been beekeeping for about 15 years. He has served as a mentor to Fox and taught him the basics. Fox is now educating himself and really learning the science of beekeeping. “It’s all about passing on the information we learn to others,” he said.

He said most beekeepers pull off their surplus in early August when bees start getting ready for winter. He said they keep a certain amount in each colony and a certain amount of what they take from each colony.
— they want to educate people on bees and help renew the art of beekeeping.Foxsaid beekeeping started as a hobby and then turned into a busi-
Fox has conducted several mentorship programs and is seeing an increasing response from people starting to call and ask questions about beekeeping. He has traveled out of state to offer his expertise, but mostly focuses on Kosciusko County and some surrounding counties.“What is honey? You have your local honey and then you have your box store honey. They’re two totally different things. People sometimes say they see stuff floating in our honey. That’s all the stuff that’s going to help you and your allergies, etc. It gets filtered out of the box store honey. We strain it through one time to eliminate bee parts and chunks of wax, but still keep some of the good ingredients.
Fox also touched on the weather, saying it plays an important factor in beekeeping. He mentioned they could lose a nectar flow. If that happens bees could start eating their winter resources, so it’s important to keep the boxes as packed as possible. Feeding the bees with a little bit of surplus honey and sugar water helps keep them from eating their own resources and keep filling the boxes. He said they want them as full as possible by mid to late October so they have resources for the winter.

Josh Fox and his father, La Mar Fox, have a primary goal in mind
He said you could have 10 beekeepers in a room all with varying ideas about how to do things.
None of them are wrong. Basically, everyone has different styles and does what’s best for them.
“Breeding season starts in one month. The gestation period is about five months. We put the rams in next week. The ewes start giving birth around February. I keep mine on dry feed instead of in the pasture. It takes five to six months to feed the lamb and get it large enough for slaughter. June and July are typi-
acquiring urine and feces on their tail, which attracts flies.
According to Kolberg, the economy goes in cycles. Sheep have recently been slightly more profitable than in years past. Many people of Middle Eastern origin and immigrants from other countries are helping to increase demand. They grew up eating lamb. The cost per pound has decreased in the past few years from about $3 to $1.80.

Fine textile grade wool currently sells for about $1.50 a pound, but the medium grade common wool only sells for 10 cents a pound, so in the case with medium grade common wool sheep, the cost associated with shearing the animal is greater than the profit made from the wool. However, the sheep still need to be sheared to keep them healthy and clean.Kolberg will dock the tails of his sheep by using a rubber band to cut off the circulation to the tail so it doesn’t grow too long and create an opportunity for flies to lay their eggs. This also prevents the animal from

The total number of sheep in the United States has been decreasing by about 1% to 2% to per year for the past 20 years.

He said there are now more open-season breeds — Rambouillet sheep and Dorsets that are accelerated breeding sheep and can produce two lamb crops per year instead of just one.
“We make more money on two than one, but often need to keep a twin for replacement breeding since they are more likely to breed twins themselves. If you have a ewe that only births single lambs, you wouldn’t keep her,” he said.
