By Mark Badertscher As farmers finish up harvest for 2020, we take a look back on 2019 and how Hardin County crop yields were affected by the wet year which had the county 2nd in the state for prevented planting acres.
As Hardin County farmers finish this year’s corn and soybeans, crop yields from the 2019 growing season have been released from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Agricultural Statistics Service.
Although these crop production numbers are based on estimates, they are used for crop insurance and government reporting purposes.
The Ada police department is making several changes to its policies and procedure manual, according to Michael Harnishfeger, police chief.
The changes are being made in order for the department credentialing by the Ohio Office of Criminal Justice Services (OCJS) and the Ohio Collaborative, as the credentialing body to certify agencies within the state.
A Hardin County covid defense team formed in November, according to Hardin County Health Commissioner Cindy Keller.
Representing Ada on the team are:
• David Retterer, Ada mayor
• Dr. Daniel DiBiasio, ONU president; and
• Dr. Michelle Musser, associate professor of pharmacy practice at ONU.
In October Gov. DeWine called on community leaders in each county to form a covid defense team.
Each team is responsible for assessing covid-19 spread in their communities, taking inventory of the assets in the community, and focusing on what steps are necessary to slow the spread of the coronavirus among their citizens.
