  • Peace and war

    Peace is fleeting these days. We can hardly count on two days in a row without heartbreaking reporting of conflict and death. The next you know we’ll be reading about vipers invading our playgrounds.

    Actually, that is a good sign.

    As the prophet Isaiah tells it, there is an age of peace coming, and one of the signs of this age is the absence of age-old conflicts and fears. Like snakes.

  • Soil compaction can cause home gardeners problems

    Gardening season is in full force.

    And gardening season is a good time to think about the soil in our garden plots and beds. Soil compaction creates an unfriendly growing environment for plants and is a serious problem.  We see this issue not only in large crop operations with conventional tillage (tobacco, for example) but it is also a common issue for many home gardeners.

    Compaction transforms soil into a difficult environment for plant growth by making it harder for roots and water to penetrate the soil.

  • 4-H’ers prepare for a busy June
