As the crops come off the fields and the leaves leave the trees, it allows for things perhaps unnoticed before to be seen. On this Halloween day and into the continuing fall, and all seasons actually, perhaps take a moment to see the pride, legacy and beauty farms, barns and all of agriculture hold.

I'm 'that old' to remember Dad just driving around the farm neighborhood for trick or treating and receiving homemade popcorn balls and candied apples. I even remember the Costume parades in school. Good memories!

Just under the wire! It was a perfect afternoon to conduct the final ODNR Stream Quality Monitoring for the year. The Stillwater River was showing off and I was there for it! The two sections I sampled did pretty well; one scored a high GOOD and the other an EXCELLENT!

Likely a lot of people could take part!

Got metal? The ME FFA Environmental Committee is collecting scrap metal to benefit the Tire Recycling Day activity. The dumpster is located east of the ME Board of Education. Thanks to Havenar Waste Removal for donating the roll-off. No tires or paint cans, please.

From our friends at FSA ...
~Submitted by Debi Clark, CED, Miami

We want to make sure you’re aware that 2026 ARCPLC enrollment is now open.
The 2026 ARCPLC signup deadline is December 11, 2026. This year, you’ll need to elect which program best fits your operation: ARC-County, PLC or ARC-Individual. Once you’ve made your election, you’ll need to sign your contracts.
Because we know how busy harvest can be, please contact the office to let us know your election and to set up a time to pick up your contracts. This will ensure you have plenty of time to gather landowner signatures before the December 11th deadline.
Also make sure if you have planted wheat or any other fall seeded small grains to get those reported to our office before December 15, 2026.
