Halton Farmers Tour Visits Cadiz Strip Mine

A Halton and Haldi mand group toured a Cadiz strip coal mine near Cadiz Ohio. They observed a 70 foot deep overburden, large electrically driven shovels, a 117 foot crane, and a machine moving 30 cable yards at once. The mine operates 24 hours with rapid coal loading to trucks. Conservation crews plan to regrade and reseed the area after mining. The day ended with a dinner hosted by the New Philadelphia Rotary Club for 77 participants.

Notable Ohio Farm Tour Highlights Mohawk to Malabar

The second day included停 Mohawk dam lunch in Mohican State Forest and tours of Blubaugh and Malabar farms. Cosmos Blubaugh, called the grand old man of Ohio agriculture, described starting from 140 acres with three cows and low fertility. He and his two sons now own over 300 acres with 40 in orchard and a new 10 by 25 foot grass silage silo. Strawberries and raspberries supported early years as he rebuilt soil and productivity. The group also visited the Northern Ohio Artificial Breeding Unit at Tiffin with a stud herd including Holsteins and other breeds and ship gemen to branch units.
