Every two years, Ohio State Economist Barry Ward surveys rural appraisers, agricultural leaders, professional farm managers, farmers, landowners, Farm Service Agency personnel, OSU Extension educators, and others on their knowledge of cropland values and cash rents. The latest survey was conducted from January to April, in 2024 with 131 participants. Barry had adequate data for only Northwestern and Southwestern Ohio. So not enough data was collected for other parts of the state.
On September 14, the Paulding FFA Chapter put on a petting zoo at the Gardens of Paulding. The petting zoo provided a chance for residents who live at the Gardens and their family members to see and pet several different types of farm animals. The petting zoo was a great way for the chapter to give back to the community. There were smaller animals at the petting zoo which included ducks, chickens and baby kittens. There were also lots of bigger animals including pygmy goats, a large saanen goat named snowflake and two adorable dogs all brought by members of the Paulding FFA chapter. The members truly enjoyed interacting with the residents and their families. It was wonderful to hear about their pets and stories of their time on their own farms. They had a wonderful time and hope to do it again in the future.
