Celebrate dairy month with ice cream

June is National Dairy Month, and what better way to celebrate than teaching kids about farming while enjoying ice cream!

The Ohio Revised Code (Chapter 951) clearly states that it is unlawful to allow livestock to run loose, and the animal’s owner may be liable for any damages.

4-H: Where the learning continues

I hope you include 4-H and the local county fairs in the memories you make this summer!

Trying to stay dry and appreciate the rain

After all, nothing can survive without water.

Celebrate dairy treats

I encourage each of you reading this, whether a dairy farmer or not, to make sure to learn one thing about the dairy industry this June and enjoy one extra dairy treat!

Spring means long, unpredictable days for farmers

This planting season, let’s all remember that agriculture is built on more than crops and equipment. It is built on people.

Strolling the fields for treasures, clarity

Walking these fields reminds me that there is always value in searching for the unknown and unexpected.

Keep it simple

By applying the KISS principle to farming and gardening, we can focus on the essentials that consistently support high yields.

Have the hard conversations now, make a plan for when you’re gone

Protect your farm. Protect your family. Protect your legacy.
