Agriculture in 2015 has had many bumps and bruises. I have listed nine events that affected agriculture in our area last year.

Grain Prices. Grain prices continue to remain low for another year. It is been projected that US farm revenue may be at its lowest level since the early 2000’s. Input costs have started to drop but not at a level to match the loss of income. Farm land values have slowly begun to drop as a result of lower farm revenue.

Ada’s 2014-15 school report card was sent home by the Ohio Department of Education on Feb. 25, as was every district in Ohio on that date.

The report cards cover several areas including:
• a school overview,
• achievement,
• progress,
• gap closing,
• graduation rate,
• K-3 literacy and
• prepared for success.

In those categories Ada school students scored exceptionally well in most cases.

Photo essay by Ken Collins

The days are getting longer. As dusk falls on Ada, it presents several interesting artistic photo options for photographers.

Ken Collins took advantage of the later winter sky and found some appropriate silhouettes at First United Methodist Church, plus one photo looking south on Main and to the western skies.
