  • There’s not just corn in Indiana

    There’s not just corn in Indiana

    This summer and spring have been by all accounts the worst summer and spring for farming in quite a while, and not just here in the county. 
    Corn and soybean farmers across Indiana, Ohio and Illinois suffered delayed planting caused by record-setting spring rains. Hoping for the wet to recede but not vanish, some farmers have been equally disappointed by the summer weather, as high temps and no rain enveloped large regions of North America for days and weeks at a time. 
    And while many have seen this spring and summer as a dangerous time for many farmers in both the county and the entire Midwest, some farmers have managed to use it as an opportunity to expand their capabilities. In particular, Mark Davidson has done just that with his hemp growing operation.
    Originally approached by fellow county councilman Don Mills about starting a hemp operation, Davidson and Mills initially agreed to plant five acres to limit the potential loss, Davidson explained. But then one day, he says, a new party changed the face of the operation. “We originally only wanted to do five acres because of some of the risks. But the consultant who I had been working with brought this guy in from Australia, and he wanted to invest in hemp and hemp growing because it’s not legal there, and he liked what he saw and upped our acreage to 20 acres.”

  • New name surfaces for Planning

    With the changes that have been ongoing in county government, it makes the various appoint committees and commissions all that much more important.
    That’s why an appointment to the Montgomery County Plan Commission has the attention of Commissioner John Frey.
    “It’s time to bring the next generation of leaders in on the process of what we do,” Frey told The Paper Friday.
    That next generation is Jordan Burkett, the agricultural loan officer for Hoosier Heartland State Bank. Burkett is on the agenda for Monday morning’s meeting as the newest member of the Plan Commission.

    According to Indiana State Police Sgt. Kim Riley, Trooper Nate Hampton was near the crash site and arrived minutes later. He reported that it appeared that three vehicles were involved in a collision. Paula R. Martin, 66, of Rockville, veered across the center line and struck the Subaru Forester Albert D. McClain, 74, of Waveland, was driving head on. Martin’s vehicle, a Hyundai Elantra, then struck a 2014 Scion TC that was driven by Anna R. Cornelius, 34, of New Market.
    Hampton treated Martin for a severe wound on her arm to help control the bleeding. She was transported to St. Vincent Hospital in Indianapolis via helicopter where she later died from her injuries.
