On Tuesday, September 24, four Paulding FFA officers traveled down to Columbus for the Ohio Legislative Leadership Conference. The officers included Vice President Tori Schlatter, Secretary Myrriah Manz, Reporter Vivienne Myers, Chaplin Jacob Harris and their FFA advisor, Ms. Baylee March. In the morning, the students mingled with other FFA chapters while playing a game that separated them into representatives and lobbyists. The lobbyists argued for a specific bill to be passed and the representatives decided whether that bill aligned with their values or not. The Paulding FFA Chapter presented a bill regarding hydraulic fracking in Ohio, in which they proposed several more environmentally friendly alternatives. After this, they explored the State House and met with an aide from Representative Roy Klopfenstein’s office to learn more about the inner workings of Ohio’s government. The students also heard Tim Schaffer speak, a former Ohio senator and current state representative. The chapters were then served lunch and got to meet State FFA officers and various state representatives. Ohio FFA President Carter Boyd then gave a closing speech regarding the importance of representing the needs of agriculture in our government. The Ohio Legislative Leadership Conference was an excellent opportunity for our officers to learn more about representing agriculture for the better.

VAN WERT — You can’t think of fall without thinking of Halloween — and you can’t think of Halloween without thinking of ghost stories.

Entering October, is it too late to plant small grains (wheat or possibly barley), and is it even profitable to do so? It is not too late, but with wheat at roughly $4.50 to $5.00, it is difficult to make wheat profitable. Most can justify planting wheat at $6/bushel. However, $4.50 corn is not much better. Planting wheat helps improve the crop rotation, reduce weeds, and may increase other crop yields by 10%. Wheat and other small grain crops like barley, cereal rye, oats are alternative crops. The market for barley and oats are fairly limited. Due to high test weight oats grown in Canada and a few breweries in Ohio, the oat and barley markets are slim. At around $12/bushel for cereal rye as a cover crop, cereal rye can be profitable with good yields.
