With harvest underway, Ohio farmers anticipate very good corn and soybean yields this year, according to Cheryl Turner, State Statistician, USDA NASS, Ohio Field Office. The November Crop Production Report is based on conditions as of November 1, 2022. Some highlights of the report follow:
• Ohio corn production is forecast at 580 million bushels, down 10 percent from last year. The yield is forecast at 186 bushels per acre, down 7 bushels from last year and down 1 bushel from last month.
The Dough Hook Meat Market is teaming up with Ronald McDonald House Charities of Northwest Ohio to help those in need. Throughout the months of November and December, The Dough Hook Meat Market will be collecting cash donations that will be turned into meat for the house’s freezer.
The old grain elevator building at 241 Cherry St. has been demolished by Ben's Construction of Lima with funding by the Ohio Building Demolition and Site Revitalization Program, which is helping communities "tear down dilapidated commercial and residential buildings and revitalize surrounding properties to attract investments, businesses, and jobs."
With work beginning on Monday, October 31, the building was no longer recognizable on November 1.
The old "Farmers Grain Co. #2" building took a serious push to topple over. A video by Blended Roots manager Katelyn Gainok showed that a heavy shovel/hydraulic excavator took some five minutes to flatten what remained of the building.
