The Ada High School Marching Bulldogs took first place in marching band competition held at Copley High School on Saturday.
Class B and C (based on school enrollment) were combined at this competition and despite being a smaller school and much smaller band, Ada was still able to come away with the first place trophy.

Giant Ragweed and Marestail (horseweed) are problem weeds in some Hardin County soybean fields this fall. A survey of 105 Hardin County soybean fields was conducted in September to determine which weeds are considered problem weeds in the county.
There were also some fields with some volunteer corn, which had grown from the previous year’s crop. This on-going research is conducted annually by OSU Extension to find out which weeds are competing with crops for nutrients and moisture, which decreases yields while increasing herbicide and other input costs.
