Now’s time to work on estate planning
Tony Nye - OSU Extension
What is estate planning? Simply, estate planning is arranging for the use and disposal of your resources and property after your death.
It allows you to look at the total picture. You should give some time and thought to plan your estate.
Here would be some steps to consider:
1. Know what you have and where it is: What do you own? What is your net worth? Where are your important papers?
2. Know how you want your estate to be handled: What are your goals for your estate after your death? Who, as your estate planning team, can help you meet those goals?
Pesticide, fertilizer recertification options

As COVID-19 continues to impact our daily lives, I wanted to share OSU Clinton County Extension’s plans for pesticide and fertilizer recertification in the coming weeks.
Currently the Clinton County Extension Office is planning to host two (in-person) pesticide/fertilizer recertification meetings: Wednesday, Feb. 3 and Wednesday, Feb. 17 at the Clinton County Extension Office Community Room, 111 S. Nelson Ave., Wilmington. (This of course is subject to change). These events are only for those applicators with licenses expiring in 2021!
Times for both events will be: Pesticide recertification from 12:30-3:30 p.m.; and fertilizer recertification from 3:30-4:30 p.m.
