  5. A Minute for Mindfulness

    Apr. 06, 2015

    Have you ever arrived at your destination, only to realize you didn’t “see” anything along the way?  Or sat down to watch TV with a snack and eaten the whole thing?  Or maybe engaged in a conversation only to realize that you didn’t “hear” a word that was spoken?  Maybe we’ve all had some of these happen at some point in time or another, but in short we’ve lost a moment in reality.  Daily stressors in life may cause us to detour (mentally and physically) the life we really want to live.

    There are currently three gas/oil pipeline projects planned and coming to Wayne County, and it is likely that more will be planned and constructed.  Landowners, the most important document when a pipeline impacts your property is the easement agreement. It could be forever! Come to a free program to learn about pipeline easements on April 16th, at 7:00 PM, at Fisher Auditorium,  on the OARDC campus. The easement is attached to your deed. Your great-great-great grandchildren will be living with the document that you signed with the land agent.

  10. Wheat Stand Evaluation And Nitrogen Application

    Mar. 30, 2015

    Although it appeared like we took a step backward last week, warmer days are ahead and our winter wheat fields will be greening up and starting growth.   Reports from around the state indicate that wheat planted shortly after the fly-free date looks better than the wheat that was planted late.  Laura Lindsey, OSU Extension Soybean and Wheat specialist recommends evaluating stands for yield potential prior to spring nitrogen application.  Fields should not be evaluated until completely green from warmer temperatures for at least 10 to 14 days.
