MEDIA RELEASE__The Ohio State University’s Agroecosystem Management Program (AMP) will host the Stinner Summit at Bluffton University on December 12 to gather people together to discuss regional challenges around food production.
Northwest Ohio is a vital agricultural region, providing food to local, regional, and international markets. Farming is deeply woven into family and community history here. However, farmers are struggling to make ends meet, agriculture has been linked to water quality issues and one in seven people in the region are food insecure. Internal tensions have set different sectors of the community against each other, creating frustrations and misconceptions about the role that each should play to address these challenges.
This year’s event will discuss “Finding Common Ground: Connecting Farms, Food, and Community in the Western Lake Erie Watershed.” Ohio State AMP invites farmers, food processors, policy makers, consumers and others involved in food production and distribution to this event.

The Bluffton Ohio Historical Society (BOHS) held it’s very first–and very informal–meeting on December 7, 2022. Now approaching the society’s third anniversary, there have been many accomplishments. A name was selected, bylaws were drafted, edited and accepted. Officers have been elected and the society has received nonprofit status.
In August of 2024, the second Bluffton History Day was held and a scene was recreated from 1898, when firefighters tested Bluffton’s first water system.
