[August 07, 2023]   Tuesday morning found the Dept. J Ag Products setup and judging underway at the Logan County Fair. The Superintendent was Rick Deter and the judge was Rick Hochstetler for this year. The weather didn't seem to affect the beauty of the products entered in this year's contest.

Contestants brought their items in, cleaned and snipped the edges, and started to arrange their offerings for the best presentation possible. Proud grandparents and parents alike stood and coached the younger participants...passing on a rich tradition of pride in agriculture.

For those of us that were not raised on the farm this particular section of grains was quite interesting and educational. Ask me the difference between wheat and oats or hay and alfalfa and I would have a 50/50 chance of guessing which is which.
