Purdue will share new research for fruit, vegetable growers at Meigs Farm

Purdue University’s Department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture and Purdue Extension invite fruit and vegetable producers to attend the 2026 Fruit and Vegetable Field Day on July 16.

The Indiana Department of Natural Resources has put out a message for those who hunt!

"Hunters –

Help feed the hungry by donating harvested deer this season. After harvesting a deer, drop off your field dressed deer to a participating processor, who will distribute venison burger to Indiana food banks. The processing fees are funded through the Sportsmen’s Benevolence Fund. In 2020, more than 20,000 pounds of venison were donated.

Find a participating processor near you at sbf.IN.gov. "
