Vancrest Nursing Home held interviews all day on Tuesday for many positions.

The new facility has received all necessary approvals from state and federal agencies to admit more people.

Currently, there are 14 residents. Administrator Randy Cox expects that number to increase to 20 by the end of the week, thus the need for more employees in all areas.

Liberty Township farm host to Tuesday Twilight Tour

Posted by Fred Steiner on Monday, August 15, 2016

Two upcoming August Twilight Tours will have farmers thinking outside of the box. 

Tuesday, Aug. 16, Ted Griffith will be discussing how he has inter-seeded soybeans into growing wheat using 15 inch rows. 

This Twilight Tour will be held near the field located at 6551 State Route 701, Ada starting at 7 p.m.

This practice, called Modified Relay Intercropping (MRI), enables a producer to get respectable wheat yields, while at the same time produce a field of soybeans that usually yield better than double cropped beans.
