Ohio water quality gains threatened by H2Ohio budget cuts

4 days ago | farmanddairy.com | Paul Rowley

SALEM, Ohio — H2Ohio, Gov. Mike DeWine’s flagship water quality initiative, doesn’t have as many friends as it once did in the Ohio state legislature. In April, House lawmakers proposed slashing the program’s funding by more than $120 million over two years to $150 million, down from the $270 million requested by DeWine. Then, on June 11, the Ohio Senate released its own version of the spending plan, one that preserved those deep cuts.

DUNDEE, Ohio — After nearly a decade at Trail Tire, Joel Martin, agricultural and specialty tire consultant, has helped transform the company’s agricultural tire service from a sideshow to a cornerstone of its business.

Flying zebras - Farm and Dairy

What do you get the Dad who has everything? I’m not sure, since all dads differ. I do know that you probably should NOT get him a zebra. I feel like this is a good time to mention that just because you can have a pet zebra, it doesn’t mean you should. Although black and white do go with almost everything, they really don’t make good pets.

When you’re 8 or 9 years old, you don’t see the world as you will as a 50- or 60-year-old. Much of what seems perfectly ordinary to a child often becomes quite extraordinary with the passing of time. For example, as a young boy, I had six grandparents: my father’s mother and father, my mother’s father and mother, and my father’s maternal grandmother and grandfather. That seemed ordinary to me then, but is now extraordinary.

SALEM, Ohio — Switchgrass has a plethora of applications: preventing soil erosion, animal bedding and even shelters for hunters stalking their prey. And yet the crop is not widely grown and buyers are hard to find. But researchers and farmers in Pennsylvania are trying to change that.
‘Farming looks mighty easy when your plow is a pencil’

Despite all his accolades and achievements, Dwight D. Eisenhower remained modest and plainspoken. “The proudest thing I can claim,” he noted after his triumphant return to the U.S. from World War II, “is that I am from Abilene.”He was clever, too; he made that statement in a speech to the good people of Abilene, Kansas.
Fighting chances

I know I am known for my “nature is not to be trusted” mantra. That is not to say, however, that there are not elements that nature gets exactly right. Recently, researchers have discovered that female frogs will escape the unwanted attention of male frogs by FAKING THEIR OWN DEATHS. I’m not saying I need to fake my own death or anything. I’m just saying that sometimes, no matter how happy your relationship might be, you also might need a little break.
Experts and growers gathered to consider how AI is reshaping farming at forum

BOWLING GREEN, Ohio — Farmers have known AI to mean one thing — the birds and the bees for bulls — for quite some time, but now it’s starting to mean something else. Artificial Intelligence is set to collide with agriculture in big ways, changing how farmers approach everything from planting to harvest.

BARNESVILLE, Ohio — Texas Longhorn bulls are photographed when the time is right, and on a Friday afternoon in May, Darol Dickinson takes a camera out of his office and gets in a bull’s pasture at his Ohio ranch, Dickinson Cattle Company. “There’s a certain period of time when the bulls have slicked off from winter and they aren’t worn down from breeding cows,” Darol says.
Farmers warn Ohio's water quality gains could slip without H2Ohio funding

MCCOMB, Ohio — For most people, the day starts with the smell of fresh coffee. For Ohio farmer Anthony Stateler, it starts with something a little stronger. “We look at manure as a vitamin. It’s like your morning vitamin,” he told attendees during a farm tour on June 9. While most farmers may stick to conventional supplements for themselves, those relying on synthetic fertilizers in their fields are often getting only the basics like nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, Stateler said.
