The weather has cleared and the machines are in the fields again. Today I had my first experience doing a yield and quality check for the Ohio Soybean Association. A farmer west of Kenton was running a field of food grade soybeans for the test. The beans did well with a yield of 62.7 bushels per acre, 13% moisture, 0.2% foreign material, and a test weight of 57.1. The soil type was Milford, and these were non-GMO beans grown in a no-till field. Early reports had soybean yields in the mid 50 bushel per acre area, so maybe the later beans will do better.
The Ohio Northern men's and women's soccer programs have joined forces again to host the fourth annual "Kicks for a Cause" fundraiser.
The event, which raised close to $1,000 last year, will take place during the OAC double header against Baldwin Wallace on Saturday, Oct. 12.
The Kicks for a Cause event began as a way to raise awareness and give back towards all forms of cancer.
All of the proceeds from the event will benefit the American Cancer Society.
Both the men's and women's teams will warm up in Kicks for a Cause t-shirts, which were designed by sophomore women's soccer team member Hannah Moloney.
