Local farmer Chad Burkholder recently directed a $2,500 Bayer Fund America's Farmers Grow Communities donation to Bluffton Soccer Club.

Since 2010, the America's Farmers programs have awarded more than $59 million to community nonprofits, aspiring ag students and public schools across rural America. Farmers are leaders in their communities, which is why America's Farmers programs rely on them to help identify the most worthy causes.

U.S. 30 west of the Interstate 75 interchange will have lane restrictions and road closures for a project to construct a Restricted Crossing U-Turn (RCUT) at Thayer Road, and cul-de-sacs at Cool Road and Mayberry Road.

Thayer Road, Mayberry Road, and Cool Road at U.S. 30 will close August 2 for approximately 45 days.

Upon completion of the project, access to U.S. 30 at Cool Road and the southern leg of Mayberry Road will be removed.
