I hope this Newsletter finds you well. The weather has remained nice throughout Darke County as harvest continues (https://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/CurrentMap/StateDroughtMonitor.aspx?OH. Corn and bean fields have continues to come off, and manure application, tillage, and wheat and cover crop seeding have followed. As always, be sure to cooperate with the equipment on the roads.

The next Darke County Garden Roundtable will be held at the OSU Extension Office on November 23rd at 6:00 p.m.

Be sure to stop by Worch Library to learn about Apple Production on October 29th at 6:00 p.m.

This will be a great opportunity to keep up with the latest information regarding economics, policies, and overall updates that impact the agricultural industry in Western Ohio. Several great speakers will join us in Versailles on November 6th, and a free meal will be provided as well thanks to our generous sponsors. See the attached flyer for more details, and I hope to see you there!
