The dairy industry has been the cornerstone of our local agricultural economy for decades.

As I write this article, it is the morning of the National 4-H and Intercollegiate Dairy Judging contests at World Dairy Expo.

If it's late summer it's time to talk about pricing a corn crop standing in the field for corn silage.

Milk prices are good now, but get ready for a change.

Lots to announce at harvest season.

While injury and fatality statistics for silage harvesting and storage are not easily tabulated, few operations present more hazards.

Thank you to the parents, members and everyone else, for another great fair.

Farmers should take time to examine the five functions of management: planning, organizing, staffing, directing and controlling.

The Class III price moved from $24.31 in April to $22.57 in May followed by $21.36 in June.

This marked the third year for the OSU Dairy Industry Study Abroad.
