Good morning to you all! It was good to see, those of you who were able, out and about this past Saturday, as Harrisburg celebrated it’s 125th year as a County. The weather was fairly nice, little too much wind, but at least the rain held off. It was great to see a few new entries in the parade, I hope they plan to participate again next year! It was also good to see the teenage crowd attempt to be involved as they brought out the ‘dunk tank.’ However, it was disappointing that they were unnec...

In honor of Father’s Day the fathers chose the hymns at the Hereford Community Church this week. For the special Kathy Zitek read a story from Guideposts about a veteran dad. Pastor Opdycke centered the service around fathers. She read several scriptures that tell the roll of fathers concerning their children. The Lord nurtures the child through the parents. Proverbs 13:24 says “If you love your children, you will correct them.” Children mimic their parents, so be a godly example. Next week...
Remember when we were young and summer days were planned around baseball games, what time the pool opened, and our piggy banks funding the local ice cream shop. Sometimes, a financial endeavor was hosted in the driveway with lemonade to get more quarters for more ice cream. Simple, really. Sell something sweet to get something sweet after enjoying a sweet summer day full of activities. Life doesn’t have to be complicated. Getting something sweet doesn’t either. A trip down to the local ice cre...

These producers are faced with the prospect of replanting or changing their cropping plans and going to a short season summer crop. These alternative crops include edible beans, proso millet, forage crops, or sunflowers. While i...
