(ONN) – The Ohio State Buckeyes are set to kick off football season this weekend and there are a few changes for fans at The Shoe.
The stadium features renovated restrooms on the A-deck and now each women’s restroom will feature free feminine hygiene products.
This year you’ll be able to see wait times at restrooms using the new wait-time function on the Ohio State Buckeyes app.
That function also shows how long you’ll have to stand in line at concession stands.
And those stands will feature new menu items including new vegan and gluten free options.
And finally, doors to the Skull Session at St. John Arena open three hours before kickoff this year instead of four.
(WTOL-11) – In northwest Ohio, a late planting season, a drought, and decreased foreign demand are causing concern for soybean and corn growers.
After a very wet spring, the crops were planted later than most would like.
Mostly May into June.
And while the corn is head high, looking great and the beans are green and full, these crops really need rain – a lot of rain before it’s too late.
Farmers of course have fixed prices for seed, for fertilizer and for fuel.
The crops grow.
Then it comes into the season and maybe have a good yield.
But prices are low right now.
Corn is about $3.50 a bushel. Soybeans about $9.50. That’s historically very low.

Findlay Trojans quarterback Ryan Montgomery shared some difficult news on social media about the injury he suffered early on in the season-opening loss at Central Catholic.
Ryan says he suffered a season-ending ACL injury and is heartbroken that he will miss the rest of his senior season.
He says the injury will require surgery and he looks forward to a full recovery and his next chapter at the University of Georgia.
Ryan added that he will do whatever he can coaching-wise to help this season.
“Thanks to the entire Findlay community for all the support. God has a plan for me and I know he is just strengthening my faith.”
