WB Area Ladies Ruritan Club learns about ag co-op

NORTH GEORGETOWN– The West Branch Area Ladies Ruritan Club met Feb. 17 at the Brethren Church. President Robin Mayer called the meeting to order, then asked Sandy Bates to introduce the program.

Joseph Holback and Dustin Shoemaker came from the Heritage Co-Op, a well known business in agriculture. They evaluate the needs of the land and what is going to be planted. They will take several samples throughout the acreage. Everything is done for the environment. Cover crop are suggested to stop erosion and hold some of the nutrients in the soil. Test the land every year, to see if new applications will be needed. They also sell food for most animals and suggestions can be made.

The ladies had several questions and the men gave suggestions.

The meeting started with Viola Blanchard leading the ladies in the “Pledge of Allegiance” and singing “God Bless America.” Bev Yaggi gave a prayer and Mayer read the Ruritan Pledge. Bates read the minutes and Mary Belle Metzgar read the treasurer’s report. Both were accepted and ready for audit.

The group voted to donate to the Sebring Hot Stove Baseball league and received thank you from Altcare, Roselawn, McCrea, Canterbury and Auburn Senior Centers for the Valentines the group made.

John Biery, Ohio District Lieutenant Governor, attended the meeting and was asked to install Mayer as president.

The club’s first bake sale of the year will be held during the Damascus Ruritan Club’s Swiss steak dinner from 4 to 7 p.m. March 21 at the West Branch High School.

The next meeting will be held March 16 with Shirley Logsdon and Evelyn Yaggi as hostesses.
