Did You See Crop injury from Slugs or Voles in 2017 or 2018?

 

 

We have heard varying reports of crop injury including replanting, treatment with control products or tillage from slugs and vole in corn and soybeans across the state. To get a better feel for where and under what conditions these two pests have been active in 2017 and 2018, a short 6-question survey has been put together. The survey is intended for farmers or professionals. The survey will be available until August 31 and should take less than 3 minutes. Please go to http://go.osu.edu/slugvole.

Video: Benefits Uses and Recipes for Fermented Foods

Fermentation has been used for thousands of years, long before refrigeration existed. Today, especially in a time of rising food costs, consumers are looking for ways to save money and prevent waste through extending the life of their food purchases. Fermented foods also offer more ways to improve gut health, support local food production, and promote increased consumption of fruits and vegetables.
