Farmers aren't in the field today. Instead they are on the ONU campus learning about new ag products and technologies.
Over 500 farmers, consultants, industry reps and government officials are in Ada March 3 and 4 participating in a Conservation Tillage & Technology Conference (CTC), one of the largest agricultural programs in northwestern Ohio.
Over 60 speakers are present and about 40 vendors have product displays and representatives available.
The winter snow and shadows create an artistic image on an Irish fence made of split rail at Cedar Grove located on five acres of land three miles north of Ada.

If so, you are in luck. ReStore's Wednesday Afternoon at the Movies this week features "Rio Bravo."
The movie will be shown at 1 p.m., Wednesday, March 4. It is free and open to the public.
Rio Bravo is a 1959 American Western film produced and directed by Howard Hawks and starring John Wayne, Dean Martin, Ricky Nelson, Angie Dickinson, Walter Brennan, and Ward Bond.
Drones have been in the news the past couple of years. They have the potential to be used in delivery, farming, or just for fun. So, I asked the county extension office if they knew of a farmer near Ada who was using drones. Nope, not yet was the reply; however, the FAA has come up with some guidelines that may encourage the use of drones in farming, they said.
Congrats are in order for several Ada students for several recent achievements. Here's the list:
