So, how many of your pro football teams drafted the right player the last couple of days? How many of you really don’t care? Either way, it has provided lots of discussion amongst many conversational circles.
The weather has certainly been a topic of discussion as well with snow over a week ago, highs in the 80’s this week and now the rain. Welcome to Ohio weather.
The rain put a screeching halt to planting progress late this week and the amount we received will keep producers out of the fields for a few more days. So, what’s ahead? According to weather, experts there appears to be some weather challenges ahead of us.

QUESTION: My kids refuse to eat spinach. How can I prepare it in a way that might appeal to a finicky eater?
ANSWER: First, it’s important to note that spinach is a healthy, dark, leafy, green vegetable that is full of protein, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, folate, fiber, phosphorus, thiamine, and vitamins A, C, and K.
Also considered a superfood, spinach, as part of a healthy, balanced diet, is important for skin, hair and bone health. Additionally, spinach can help improve blood glucose control in people with diabetes, and it lowers the risk of cancer, improves bone health, and can promote digestive regularity.
