Humans certainly aren’t helping anything with the myriad of things we do, such as enact laws that prevent underbrush removal that later lends fuel to wild fires. There is a reported cycle of warming and cooling, which has gone on since recorded events began, and unusual events such as widespread fires and volcanic eruptions certainly provide fodder for discussion. If my memory serves me correctly, local weather service records indicate more torrential rainfall events, but actually less severe weather (such as tornadoes) over the past several years. To sum things up for the growing season, it was a challenging year with a better than anticipated outcome – at least so far. Producers, and the agribusinesses which support the producers, accomplished a tremendous feat this year in producing a crop. It is remarkable Logan County produced over $245 million in ag products for 2017 according to the latest Census of Agriculture. The agriculture industry in Logan County will continue to look for ways to improve operations, increase income, and remain profitable in spite of the many uncertainties it faces.
