Please remember that filing an accurate acreage report for all crops and land uses, including failed acreage and prevented planting acreage, can prevent the loss of benefits for a variety of programs. Failed acreage must be reported within 15 days of the disaster event and before disposition of the crop. Prevented planting must be reported no later than 15 days after the final planting date. Acreage reports are required for many Farm Service Agency programs. For crops other than NAP (Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program) crops, acreage reports are to be certified by the June 30 deadline on small grains and a July 15 deadline on all other crops and CRP land. Acreage reports on crops for which NAP assistance may be paid are due in the county office by the earlier of June 30 for small grains and July 15 for all other crops, or 15 calendar days before the onset of harvest or grazing of the specific crop acreage being reported.

It's good times up at Lake Erie these days. Crappie fishing is typically a little later in the marinas there since the big lake warms up more slowly, but they're definitely in now as I found out last week, and hopefully they'll remain for at least another week or so. Why drive north for a mess of these silvery fish when you can probably catch some just miles away? Because Erie crappie tend to run BIG, and personally I like to catch lunker slabs.

A Norwalk man was sentenced in Erie County Common Pleas Court on Monday to 10 months in prison for stealing money from a Milan relative's safe. John J.
