Cattle handling is a learned skill. As with anything we do, some people are initially better at it than others, but it is a skill you can work on and improve with experience. Regardless of your experience level, you need to first understand cattle physiology and behavior and then learn the principles used to move animals. Cattle have expected behaviors in reaction to human handling. Knowledge of those behaviors helps you direct them to do what you want them to do.
Blueberries are an immensely popular fruit in the United States because of their unique flavor, small, soft, and edible seeds, and their easy use in preparation (Figure 1). Blueberries can be eaten fresh or used to make jelly, jam, pies, pastries, or juice. Blueberry fruit is also low in calories and sodium, contains no cholesterol, and is a source of fiber. A major constituent of the fiber is pectin, renowned for its ability to lower blood cholesterol.

Ohio boasts some of the most diverse and resilient woodlands in the nation. With over 8 million acres, Ohio is 31% wooded. Approximately 85% is privately owned by approximately 340,000 different owners. Nearly half of the woodlands are located within the hilly, unglaciated portion of southeastern Ohio. These woodlands provide continued benefits to Ohioans through forest products, wildlife habitat, high-quality water, clean air, recreational opportunities, carbon sequestration, scenic beauty, and many others uses.
The first step in implementing universal design into your home is understanding the concept of universal home design. The concept of universal home design was developed to improve the function of a home for all its occupants, regardless of age, ability, or mobility. Making your home safer and easier to live in does not always require big changes. Some universal design modifications are simple, affordable, and easy to complete, such as replacing round doorknobs with lever-style handles.
In Ohio, cottage food producers are responsible for ensuring their products are prepared safely. Illnesses from unsafe food can largely be prevented by implementing good food safety practices. While Ohio farmers markets present a great opportunity to expand the sales of cottage foods to new audiences, food safety risks are introduced when transporting products and selling them at a second location.
Freezing vegetables is a simple and quick method of preservation. Freezing costs more than canning or drying because of freezer purchase and operating costs, but it preserves more nutrients and fresh flavor if done properly.
Precision conservation integrates agronomic, economic, and environmental data to guide where conservation practices are implemented so they deliver the greatest return. By combining tools such as end-of-season yield maps, profit maps, and multiyear yield analysis, producers can identify areas within fields that consistently underperform or generate negative margins.
If you ever thought you had the 24-hour flu, you may have had a foodborne illness caused by the bacteria Bacillus cereus (B. cereus). Illness from B. cereus is also called “fried rice syndrome” or “reheated rice syndrome” (Leong et al., 2023). Though it has made social media headlines in recent years, B. cereus is not a new microorganism or a new problem.
