The conversations continue as Dale Minyo talks with Tadd Nicholson of Ohio Corn & Wheat about the changing world of ethanol demand and its huge impact, as well as potential, now and down the road. We then hear from Dusty as he talks with Putnam County Farmer Jeff Duling about a new effort underway in northwest Ohio to bring hay relief to those farmers in need in drought-stricken southern Ohio. Want to get involved? Tune in to learn more. Joel Penhorwood joins us from the tractor cab for a pair of Cab Cams. The first is with Nate Douridas, farm manager at the Molly Caren Ag Center (home of the Farm Science Review) as they were harvesting corn. Not only do we find out how the corn is yielding the field, but what to see at the farm show. The next Cab Cam takes us to southeast Logan County for a chat with farmer Doug Henry of Henry Farms while chopping corn silage, thinking about the benefits of being a diversified operation in the current commodity markets.

The judge decided it was an attempt at trying to delay the case.A personal injuries case where a woman claimed she fell over tree roots that had broken through the pavement. She couldn't tell the court exactly where she fell nor did any of her three friends who her with her on the night of the fall choose to give evidence. A case involving the Charity Regulatory Authority and their powers of search (the CRA has assumed powers previously held under the AG's office).
