Transition the Farm Business to the Next Generation
Passing the farm business on to the next generation is not automatic. Failure to plan is a plan for failure. Successful farm transition requires preparation and planning. It takes time, effort, communication between family members and legal assistance. The Wayne County Extension office is offering a two-part farm transition workshop on Friday July 19 and Friday July 26 to help farm families with the farm transition process.

This Ohio Sheep and Hay Day event at the Jackson Agricultural Research Station (JARS) will cater a similar style program to sheep (and other) producers, who may have otherwise not came to Hay Day at EARS or the Beef and Forage Field Night at JARS.
This program structure was requested by the Ohio Sheep Improvement Association for this year’s Ohio Sheep Day, which is an annual event held on farms across the state. Ohio Sheep Day is a combined effort of The Ohio State University Extension, Department of Animal Sciences, and the Ohio Sheep Improvement Association.

I prefer the texture of soft-boiled eggs versus hard-boiled eggs. Is it OK to use soft-boiled eggs for dyeing Easter eggs?
Well, that really depends on whether you plan to eat the Easter eggs or just use them for decoration.
Eggs are an important source of protein and are delicious to eat. However, they must be handled safely to prevent the chance of contracting a foodborne illness.
