— Business groups are increasing the pressure on lawmakers to intervene and block a railroad strike before next month’s deadline in the stalled contract talks. A coalition of more than 400 business groups sent a letter to Congressional leaders Monday urging them to step into the stalled talks because of fears about the devastating potential impact of a strike that could force many businesses to shut down if they can’t get the rail deliveries they need.
The Livingston County Cancer Assistance (LCCA) was founded in July of 2018 after Paul Howard was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Paul and Patricia wanted to make something positive happen in our community after this horrible diagnosis. The added costs of doctor visits, treatments and medications, put a burden on a patient and their family. Because Chillicothe is a very progressive community, it wasn’t difficult to begin raising money for Livingston County cancer patients.
As Americans head into the holiday season, a rapidly intensifying flu season is straining hospitals already overburdened with patients sick from other respiratory infections.

Do you know some herbicides used in the pasture tend to be active for several years as they can get carried over to hay, compost, and manure? It sounds strange, but when fed with herbicide-treated hay, livestock can pass the residual herbicides down to the manure. Even after composting, some persistent herbicides do not break down quickly enough. Unfortunately, contaminated farm byproducts, when applied on the farm, affect crop yield and growth. The herbicides in question are in the pyridine carboxylic acid class of broad-leaf herbicides. Some of the commonly used herbicides in this class are aminopyralid (Milestone), clopyralid (Tansline), and picloram (Grazon). They are registered for application to pasture, row crops, orchards, and lawns and are effective herbicides for broadleaf weed control. However, these herbicides have long residual activity (3+ years) compared to phenoxy herbicides, such as 2,4D, which break down in a few months.

and I also hear others use a lot as well. It bothers me that I use them so much, but I haven’t focused on good alternatives. The three words are fun, comfortable, and easy! Do you hear these words a lot?
