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

Farm Labor Resources
Labor has always been an issue, mainly because we are a seasonal operation. So that's a challenge finding somebody who only wants to work three months out of a year, sometimes up to six months.

Strong communities
I appreciate the benefit of having a strong voice in my corner. The extras that are included in membership are wonderful, but I'm a member because of the positive impact to my local and state agricultural communities.

Leadership development
I see the value and need to be engaged in the community I live in, to be a part of the decision-making process and to volunteer with organizations that help make our community better.

Young Ag Professionals program
Farm Bureau involvement has taught me how to grow my professional and leadership experience outside of the workforce and how to do that in a community-centric way.

Growing our Generation
With not growing up on a farm, I’d say I was a late bloomer to agriculture. I feel so fortunate that I found the agriculture industry. There are so many opportunities for growth.

Groovy Plants Ranch
Knowing that horticulture is under the agriculture umbrella and having Farm Bureau supporting horticulture like it does the rest of ag is very important.

If it wasn't for Farm Bureau, I personally, along with many others, would not have had the opportunity to meet with our representatives face to face in Washington.

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.
