    Hepatitis A: A Virus that Causes Foodborne Illness

    Apr 9, 2026

    Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver, a condition caused by a family of viruses that includes Hepatitis A, B, and C. Hepatitis A is a pathogen found in human feces. Contamination of water and food by food handlers who are infected with Hepatitis A and practice poor personal hygiene is the main cause of the foodborne illness. Contamination can occur at any point in the food chain—growing, harvesting, processing, handling, or even after cooking.

    Farm Resilience for Weather Emergencies

    Apr 6, 2026

    In Ohio, the likelihood of experiencing weather impacts or emergencies on the farm is elevated. Ohio is often the battle ground between cold, Canadian air and a humid, tropical flow out of the Gulf. Thunderstorms can occur every month, and on average, Ohio experiences 22 tornadoes per year. This number varies considerably though, with zero tornadoes reported in 1988 to 74 recorded in 2024 (US Department of Commerce, 2025).

Simply stated, forest management is giving a woodland the care it needs to be healthy, vigorous, and provides the products and amenities the landowner desires.
