Fall armyworms have arrived and are marching strong.
Multiple generations of fall armyworms occur each year. The damaging life stage, larvae, live for about two weeks but this can change based on temperature. Small larvae do not eat much for the first ten days of their life; the larger life stage causes almost all of the damage during the last couple of days before pupation. Smaller larvae are easier to control than larger ones.

During the past year, we all have experienced change. Due to the pandemic, SNAP-Ed had to make a change in the way we taught our classes since we could no longer meet safely in person. With a little practice and a lot of determination we now offer classes virtually for our participants! This means you can join classes in the convenience of your own home. You can expect our classes to have a lot of fun and useful nutrition information, budget-friendly tips, and yummy recipes.

After increasing reports of Ohio citizens receiving packages of unsolicited seeds in the mail, the Ohio Department of Agriculture (ODA) is again urging the public to report and submit any unsolicited seed packets to ODA. In partnership with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) Plant Protection and Quarantine Office, ODA is working to investigate the number of seed packets sent to Ohio, what type of seeds they are, and where they were mailed from.

The Power Hour is a fun spin on parenting education. OSU Extension is offering parents and caregivers of young children, a series of three one-hour virtual workouts comprised of dialogue and videos to PUMP YOU UP!
In other words, we want to help you develop some knowledge, aspirations, strategies to replace those flabby wishes that your children would listen, or obey, with engaging your children’s cooperation.

The USDA Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) was established to fill the gap when children lose access to meals when schools are closed. Most often this occurs during summer vacation. However, during school closures related to the pandemic, meals are also being made available. You have the opportunity to supplement the food you have at home with meals and snacks for your children from local schools and community organizations. In an effort to maintain social distancing, USDA has made temporary changes that allow parents or guardians to pick up meals and take them home for their children.
