How is the wheat crop doing?
Justin Petrosino, OSU Extension, Darke County

in late April are just now emerging. With the potential for several
more inches of rain this week, if we believe the weatherman, it may be
longer until we see the county planted. So what about our third largest

thousand. They intend to hold public hearings at their regular meetings

Porkulus: Cash for Tax Cheats
By Michelle Malkin
When President Obama signed the trillion-dollar stimulus law in 2009,
