Well Done Dr. Forshey
By Ty Higgins As you have probably heard by now, The Ohio Department of Agriculture has a new leader at the helm. His name is David Daniels and he makes his way to ODA via the Statehouse where he served as a State Senator for Ohio’s 17th District for four terms. For the past 3 months, [...]
Cow Cam
Now I have seen it all! I recently discovered the first video filmed by cattle. This, of course, raised a few poignant questions, like did the Director use a bull horn? Is this just a “trailer” for the full length moovie? When a cow messed up a line, did someone yell “Cud, Cud”? I doubt [...]
Heads Up Ohio Agriculture

My Favorite Season – McRib Season
The word fanatical has never truly been in my vocabulary. I find myself thinking that people that are fanatical about anything have way too much time of their hands. Sure I love Ohio State football, but I can go a Saturday without painting my face, wearing a wig and putting on a 100 pound necklace [...]
Comparing Apples to Twinkies
This week I got a call from my Brother asking me if I saw the afternoon newscast and the story about farm subsidies and Twinkies? I had not but I was obviously curious so I went online to the TV station’s website and searched for this particular story. Here is the jest of it. The Ohio [...]
