Noble County Farm Bureau would like to share the Noble County Extension newsletter information with members:

Dear Readers,

I hope the 2021 growing season has treated you well! Most of the county received it’s first killing frost Nov.  2 and now gardens and hay fields are resting until spring. The end of the garden season led to the conclusion of the inaugural year of the Caldwell Community Seed Library. We hope all who participated in the program had a good experience with their seeds and will join us again for the program in 2022. If you saved garden seed from the 2021 season and would like to add them to the seed library, you can drop them off at the Extension office to be inventoried for next season.

Corn and beans are ready (or nearly so) to be harvested. Please continue to watch for and share the road with moving farm equipment as daylight swiftly passes in the evenings.

Deer harvest in Noble County reached 521 deer on Nov. 2 with the statewide yield totaling 36,206 deer so far. That’s a good start to archery season, which will continue through Feb. 6. More details on hunting season dates and bag limits can be found in this edition of the newsletter along with an invitation to OSU Extension & SWCD’s Venison Workshop on Nov. 13. We hope to see you at this or another event soon.

Enjoy the bounty of the season and the company of those you love as we progress into the season of thanksgiving! At OSU Extension, we are thankful for the support of our community and look forward to adding value to your farm, home, family, and business ventures in the months ahead.

Sincerely,

Christine Gelley, M.S. Extension Educator, Agriculture & Natural Resources Noble County Extension

New and beginning farmers
My first recommendation in your journey is to start out with a local farming friend or mentor along with joining an organization like Ohio Farm Bureau.

Growing Tomorrow Grant
We’re just so thankful for the Farm Bureau and the foundation for helping put this together. And of course, the Boyert family for the vision they had with this grant. It’s jumping us forward 10 years. It’s unbelievable.

Youth pathways in Farm Bureau
It wasn’t until I joined the Wilmington College Collegiate Farm Bureau that I truly saw how my passion could translate into leadership, advocacy and a career.

Giving farmers a voice
The issue of property taxation remains as one of the biggest challenges our members face today. Ensuring agricultural property is valued for its agricultural potential and not development is critical to the continued success of Ohio agriculture.

Select Partner Program
Through the Select Partner program, we became educated in farm insurance and weren't just selling policies. It became more and more clear why farmers need an advocate like Ohio Farm Bureau.

Advocacy
So many of the issues that OFBF and its members are advocating for are important to all Ohioans. I look at OFBF as an agricultural watchdog advocating for farmers and rural communities across Ohio.
