Spring is in the air, which can only mean 4-H camping season is on the horizon and preparations are underway. Dates have been set, and camp counselor training has begun for Cloverbud Day Camp and Junior Camp. Registration opened May 1.
Counselors for each camp go through comprehensive training, over multiple meetings, in the months prior to the camps.

I am glad I am not a meteorologist. We finally had winter this year, spending the majority of January and February with snow on the ground. It now seems that we are going to bypass spring and jump straight into summer. The 80-degree weather we have had the last couple weeks has accelerated growth of our small grains, hay fields and pastures. There are reports that some parts of southern Ohio could be cutting hay next week and they are seeing wheat begin to head. Being further north, we are still a little behind them, but our turn will be coming up quickly.

I would imagine that as soon as soils dry up from the recent rains, field operations will kick into high gear for the start of the 2025 planting season. No matter how much advanced planning you have done, this time of year always seems rushed. The seeds will not grow in the bag, and you never know how much of the ideal planting window you will get.

Anticipate that we will have a “normal” spring with the traditional alternating strings of warm and cold days.

It’s a good day to share sourdough – either in the way of a starter or a loaf of bread – because it’s National Sourdough Bread Day
