Nine-hundred-million slices of bacon. That would be enough for three slices for everyone in the United States, minus the vegans. And it is all going to be generated around the Chrisman area where Route 36 crosses the Indiana state line.
“Mr. President, thanks for the cash, it will help pay year-end bills. But the announcement that trade is being re-established with Mexico means even more. The cash is short term, but trade with a growing Mexican population is a long-term tool to help rebuild our struggling farm economy.”
Monsanto’s absorption into Bayer is now official. As with all corporate mergers and acquisitions, there is some bad that comes along with the good.
There were probably many U.S. Department of Agriculture political appointees and career civil service workers on the team that assembled the “trade aid” bail out announced by the White House last week for farmers.
There were probably many U.S. Department of Agriculture political appointees and career civil service workers on the team that assembled the “trade aid” bail out announced by the White House last week for farmers.
Agriculture is at center stage in White House political theatrics and the audience of farmers is finding out the script is unwritten and the actors are ad libbing their lines.
All kinds of people make up this great nation. Seniors, soldiers, individuals with disabilities and newlyweds — they are the workers, civic leaders, social workers and artistic creators of countless things and ideas that help us have better lives every day. All of our collective talents and …

Authorities say three people were shot and wounded on Friday in Chicago. The Chicago Sun-Times reported that police say a man was sitting in a parked car with a woman standing by his driver side window when both were struck with gunfire at about 10:15 p.m. in South Austin. Police say the 34-year-old man was shot twice in the neck and taken to the hospital in critical condition while the 31-year-old woman was shot in the elbow and in good condition. Authorities say a third person was also struck by gunfire and is in good condition. No additional details about the shooting were immediately made available.
Prosecutors say a Chicago woman smothered her daughter with a plastic bag on her eighth birthday while the girl screamed “Momma, stop,” because she believed her daughter didn’t love her anymore. Thirty-eight-year-old Andreal Hagler has been charged with first-degree murder in the death of her daughter, Amaria Osby. The girl was found dead in their apartment Wednesday. While in custody, Hagler admitted that, the night before, she and Amaria said their prayers before bed around 8 or 9 p.m., and then she began doing PCP and smothered Amaria with a plastic bag, as her daughter screamed “Momma, stop.”
A central Indiana coroner has confirmed that a construction worker died this week during a thunderstorm. Boone County Coroner Justin Sparks tells WRTV-TV that workers were in the process of stopping work due to thunderstorms Wednesday when strong winds caused the boom lift they were on to topple. Sparks said Friday that the accident killed 29-year-old Sebastian Bartolome-Gaspar of Guatemala. Sparks says he was the only one injured. An autopsy found his death to be accidental due to a result of blunt force trauma to his body. The accident occurred 2 miles southwest of Lebanon.

Markets are tumbling downhill because of all of the White House tariffs on imported products are expected to draw retaliation from our trading partners.
I wish I were a better wordsmith. Yes, I can tell a story... sometimes I even surprise myself and say, "that's a pretty darn good one." Yes, my vocabulary is better than most. Yet I reach for words to describe feelings, like "safety."
Question: My son is 14 and I wasn’t around for most of his life, but about two years ago I reached out and he responded positively. We are now pretty close, but it’s obvious he is even closer to his stepdad, which I think is because he has been around since he was 2. Father’s Day is right ar…

I’m sure you’ve seen them in the garden center. You may have just thought they were mini-petunias like I did when I first saw them. Calibrachoa, also called Million Bells, or known by the brand name Superbells, are a plant that I love more and more each year that I use it.

Indiana pastor admits 'adultery' at church service; victim stands up to say she was 16 when it began
Pastor John Lowe II got a standing ovation initially after saying he had sinned and committed “adultery.” Then a woman walked up to the microphone and said she was 16 at the time. A prosecutor is investigating.
The Mattoon Police Department has arrested a substitute teacher on a preliminary charge that he attempted to solicit sexual encounters from a juvenile female.
An investigation into the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office for allegations of fraud, theft and official misconduct found no evidence to warrant a criminal case, officials said.
The investigation started when Mattoon officers responded April 30 in reference to an unresponsive adult female, who was later pronounced deceased.
A lawsuit filed Wednesday by three Illinois Republicans argues that the state should not count mail-in ballots that arrive after the date of an election.
