The week’s dry weather let farmers catch up on summer tasks though corn suffers from shallow roots and soil drying after plowing. Oat yields are below average with many heads dry yet some moisture recovery expected soon. Wheat and oats yields trail past averages while corn prospects look strong at about 67 bushels per acre. Seventies youth join the Junior Corn Yield Contest with 5-acre plots using new varieties and heavier fertilization. 4H Club enrollment in Rush County climbs to 429 with Ripley Township at 79. Local livestock projects include pig, lamb, beef, and poultry clubs as part of an expanding 4H program. swine tour attendance noted.
