As summer approaches, attention turns again to algal blooms in the Western Lake Erie Basin, driven partly by legacy phosphorus—nutrients that have built up in soils and sediments from past agricultural practices. A new series of Field Day podcasts by the Ohio Farm Bureau explores this issue, emphasizing how long-term conservation practices are needed to see meaningful water quality improvements due to the delayed response of natural systems. Featuring experts from major research institutions, the podcast covers topics such as phosphorus aging, hot spots, soil testing, and the impact of streambank erosion on phosphorus runoff.
The Field Day podcast series will include guests from the USDA Agricultural Research Service, Ohio Department of Agriculture, The Ohio State University and the University of Illinois.

Despite most Americans acknowledging the link between diet and health, the average adult still consumes an unhealthy diet, prioritizing taste and affordability over nutrition. Purdue University’s May Consumer Food Insights Report reveals that while consumers believe improving their diet improves overall health, many face challenges like unclear food labels and limited access to healthy options. The survey also shows steady food inflation and a slight rise in food insecurity, with some food-insecure individuals still rating their diets as healthy, particularly among younger respondents. Those who report having healthier diets tend to check food labels more often and purchase specialty foods like organic or local products.
Consumers seem confident in their ability to identify healthy foods and understand that what they eat directly influences their overall health. Even so, new data shows that the average American adult has an unhealthy diet, according to the May Consumer Food Insights Report (CFI).
