A mild-mannered Bluffton police officer by day, Austin Probst is a local farmer and videographer during the rest of his week. In November 2025, he introduced the Ohio Century Farm channel on YouTube, which gives viewers an inside look at the acres and cows that make up his operation near State Routes 235 and 103.

Videos are subtitled with the segments included. For example, the channel's first official video includes a morning milking, cleaning free stall barn, raking out free stalls and unloading and stacking hay.

Words of the day
Semiquincentennial and Bisesquicentennial. A.k.a. 250 years. The United States will be celebrating its Semiquincentennial in 2026. Most event organizers are using the shorthand “America 250.” I learned these vocabulary-builders at America 250-Ohio.
