One of my buddies often takes calls and visits fields where a problem has occurred. And although he doesn’t say this to the grower or crop consultant he visits with, afterward he tells me “it’s the agronomy, stupid.”
I have taught from the Ohio Agronomy Guide this year and used it for some excerpts a couple of other times as well and even I forget what is in there. I sat last evening with one of our county folks a good one, Bruce Clevenger and an industry agronomist. We went through the Agronomy Guide and just kept finding these words of wisdom. I hope you will read through the publication but I want to share some of the nuggets that Bruce and I found:
Defiance County commissioners opened bids on renovations to the new county childrenâs home on Evansport Road during their Monday meeting.
Commissioners also met with Bruce Clevenger and Teresa Johnson of the OSU Extension Office for their quarterly update (see related story page A2).
The lowest bid was received from The Dotson Company, Whitehouse, at $276,680. This was well below the estimate ($343,226) provided by the project architect, Beilharz Architects Inc., Defiance.
Six other companies also provided bids.
They were: Mel Lanzer Company, Napoleon, $286,000; Midwest Contracting Inc., Holland, $292,800; Rupp/Rosebrock Inc., Liberty Center, $298,199; McDonaldâs Design and Build, Defiance, $339,818; Kuhlman Builders Inc., Ottawa, at $344,911; and Baker-Shindler Contracting, $349,900.
