When MAGA and MAHA meet, an aha moment it is not

2 days ago | farmanddairy.com | Alan Guebert

For U.S. farmers and ranchers, Thursday, May 22 was right out of a Dickens novel: It was the best of days and the worst of days. Early — and I do mean cow-milking early — that morning, the U.S. House of Representatives teed up a vote to pass the tax-cutting, deficit-exploding 1,000-page bill favored by GOP leaders and the Trump White House. Despite two Republican members sleeping through the actual vote, the bill squeaked by in a 215-214 count.
Adolph Tree Farm earns Ohio Century Farm status

1 week ago | farmanddairy.com | Sara Welch

MOGADORE, Ohio — Nestled in a valley off of Waterloo Road in Suffield Township, Adolph Tree Farm has quietly sustained its family’s farming legacy in Portage County, Ohio. Aside from the old wooden sign advertising the types of trees sold there, there isn’t much indication of the oasis that lies about 500 yards below, at the bottom of a hill that gently slopes downward and ends at a small creek. “We’re fortunate for a lot of reasons. One, it’s in a valley, so people in a way don’t know we’re here.
Taxpayers and farmers caught in ‘government payment trap’

1 week ago | farmanddairy.com | Alan Guebert

On Feb. 21, 2018, this space outlined my assessment of Congress’s meandering approach to the overdue 2018 Farm Bill. Don’t just polish the badly tarnished 2014 Farm Bill, I urged; write a bill that “addressed” the law’s biggest flaw, “crop insurance’s inability to either slow or reverse falling farm income.”It was a waste of ink.
My (Apple) identity crisis puts commerce at risk

1 week ago | farmanddairy.com | Kymberly Foster Seabolt

In case anyone has been wondering what my opinion of toilet paper might be, I’m a fan. I say this because apparently my review of a variety of mundane items is CRUCIAL to the economic success of just about any and everything. I cannot buy toothpaste, a paint brush or carrots without getting an email or text reminder to “review my purchases.” It’s a carrot. What exactly am I supposed to say? I gave the carrots a five-star rating because while some are imperfect, they do try.
History of cannabis as medicine and fiber on display in Ohio's Cannabis Museum

1 week ago | farmanddairy.com | Ashley Bunton

ATHENS, Ohio — Processing stalks of hemp and flax into fiber that can be used for weaving or spinning is a relatively new craft for fiber artist Isaac Coblentz at the Cannabis Museum in Athens County, Ohio. “I’m going into my second year,” said 50-year-old Coblentz. During fiber demonstrations at the Cannabis Museum, a job he began in 2023 after moving from his hometown of Ashtabula to Athens, Coblentz educates people about how to work the raw plant materials into string.
National Cookie Cutter Collector’s Club Convention coming to Canton in June

1 week ago | farmanddairy.com | Sara Welch

AUSTINTOWN, Ohio — Ruth Capper, president of the National Cookie Cutter Collector’s Club, milled through her collection of over 10,000 antique cookie cutters of all shapes, sizes and types, explaining who made each one and where she acquired them just a month ahead of the upcoming National Cookie Cutter Collector’s Club Convention. Capper’s collection spans decades, dating back to the 1930s.
Farm Bill ‘safety net’ mostly ensures need for ‘safety net’

2 weeks ago | farmanddairy.com | Alan Guebert

The opening lines in an April 11 farmdocDAILY post should have raised an eyebrow or two among Farm Bill geeks both in and out of Congress: “The US crop safety net,” it begins, “has undergone a profound transformation.”That’s a belt-high fastball for Farm Bill writers arguing over cuts in food aid programs instead of questioning the very foundation of farm program spending: Does the American farm safety net even work anymore?
Wisdom for the ages

2 weeks ago | farmanddairy.com | Kymberly Foster Seabolt

Like most middle-aged folks, I sure wish I actually knew everything I THOUGHT I knew when I was about 19 or 20. I just felt so much smarter then. Recently, the topic of parental advice was discussed on Mother’s Day with friends. We came to realize we should have listened to our mothers, grandmothers and other purveyors of wisdom much earlier than we actually did. There are so many nuggets that we eye roll as youth that suddenly make a LOT more sense as we reach a certain age.
Birders flock to Magee Marsh for warblers and winged drama

2 weeks ago | farmanddairy.com | Paul Rowley

CARROLL TOWNSHIP, Ohio — The action started before we touched the boardwalk, as the early morning crowd walking across the gravel parking lot of Magee Marsh Wildlife Area on May 13 had their binoculars and cameras pointed up, murmuring amongst themselves as they quietly discussed their first sightings of the day.
How to avoid tick bites when you can't avoid the outdoors

3 weeks ago | farmanddairy.com | Rachel Wagoner

The best way to avoid getting a tick-borne disease is to avoid getting bitten by a tick. And the best way to do that is to avoid contact with ticks by staying out of tick habitats (wooded and brushy areas with high grass and leaf litter). But this advice doesn’t work so well for farmers and other folks who work outdoors.
