Two upcoming August Twilight Tours will have farmers thinking outside of the box.
Tuesday, Aug. 16, Ted Griffith will be discussing how he has inter-seeded soybeans into growing wheat using 15 inch rows.
This Twilight Tour will be held near the field located at 6551 State Route 701, Ada starting at 7 p.m.
This practice, called Modified Relay Intercropping (MRI), enables a producer to get respectable wheat yields, while at the same time produce a field of soybeans that usually yield better than double cropped beans.
Those attending the Farmers and Merchants picnic on Saturday were having a fun time until noon. Then, there were a few sprinkles, followed by a gully washer at 2 p.m., sending even the diehard picnic-goers home.

Events were cancelled, rides and food trucks packed up and left, and those hosting games escaped the tropical-like downpours that continued throughout the afternoon.
