Matt Reese hosts the 19th episode of the Ohio Ag Net Podcast, courtesy of AgriGold. He and Joel Penhorwood talk the hot weather as of late and the county fair season currently underway.

Dale Minyo has been out and about and recently caught up with State Veterinarian Tony Forshey alongside Bryan Humphreys, executive vice-president of the Ohio Pork Council. The two spoke on the recent influx of Swine Flu at county fairs and ways the public can stay safe from that. Dale was also joined by AgriGold's Dan Maxson on the crop and an upcoming visit from corn yield champion Randy Dowdy.

We hear from Ty Higgins after he recently visited the Ohio Corn and Wheat Growers' Feed the World program. The initiative looks to give school teachers the resources and knowledge they need to teach agricultural-related lessons in the classroom.

The continuous wet weather has made hay production this year tough. Joel is joined by Rory Lewandowski, hay and forage specialist with Ohio State Extension. The two talk where producers are at as far as hay baling progress and some tips on getting the highest quality product out of fields.

Throw in a couple fun stories and its quite the varied podcast here in episode 19. More at www.ohioagnet.com and www.agrigold.com.
