Indiana remains a top agricultural state according to new census

0

INDIANAPOLIS (Feb. 13, 2024) — According to the newly released agricultural census data from The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)’s National Agricultural Statistics Service, Indiana remains a top agricultural state, with agricultural products valued at over $18 billion.

“This data shows that agriculture remains a pillar of the Indiana economy with the total value of agriculture production growing 62% over the five year period,” said Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch, Secretary of Agriculture and Rural Development. “The Census of Agriculture is all encompassing, and it allows us to compare ourselves to fellow states, whether that is in ranking of commodities, prices, demographics and more.”

The Census of Agriculture is a complete count of U.S. farms and ranches and the people who operate them. Even small plots of land – whether rural or urban – growing fruit, vegetables or some food animals count if $1,000 or more of such products were raised and sold, or normally would have been sold, during the Census year. The Census of Agriculture, taken only once every five years, looks at land use and ownership, operator characteristics, production practices, income and expenditures.

“We are thankful for all the farmers who completed the survey, this data allows our department to provide accurate and reliable information and data to Hoosiers, to farmers and to decision makers,” said Don Lamb, Indiana State Department of Agriculture director. “The data comes out every five years and its always exciting to see our statewide growth.”

Data from the census shapes programs and initiatives that benefit Indiana farmers, expands access to resources that help farmers and help farmers diversify into new markets, including local and regional food systems, specialty crops and organic production.

Listed below are some highlights from the 2022 Census of Agriculture for Indiana.

Indiana rankings:

  • Number one producer of popcorn, gourds and duck
  • Number two producer of pumpkins
  • Number three producer of spearmint and turkeys
  • Number four producer of peppermint and soybeans
  • Number five producing state for corn and hogs
  • Number six producer of eggs and watermelons
  • Number ten producing state for maple syrup and hemp for floral (CBD and other cannabinoid usage)
  • Total Value of Agricultural Production over $18 billion at 65% crops and 35% livestock (up from $11.1 million in 2017, a 64% increase)

Land data:

  • Number of farms is 53,599
  • Land in farms 14.6 million acres
  • Average farm size 272 acres
  • Top five Indiana counties with the largest number of farms: LaGrange, Elkhart, Allen, Adams & Daviess
  • Top five Indiana counties with the highest value of agriculture production: Jay, Jasper, Elkhart, LaGrange, Dubois

Demographics:

 MAN FOUND GUILTY BY JURY OF CHILD MOLESTATION 

0

Evansville, IN – Prosecutor Diana Moers announces that on February 13, 2024, after a two-day jury trial, Timothy W. Vaughn was found guilty of Child Molesting, a Level 1 Felony, and Incest, a Level 4 Felony. The Honorable Magistrate Judge Kelli E. Fink of the Vanderburgh County Circuit Court presided. 

In May of 2023, Holly’s House conducted a forensic interview with a child who stated Timothy W. Vaughn had molested them several years back. The Evansville Police Department was able to verify the dates, location, and descriptions the victim gave ultimately leading to charging Timothy W. Vaughn with the crime. 

Deputy Prosecutor Amanda Honaker worked alongside the victim and their family diligently to ensure a successful trial. After over 3 hours of deliberation, the jury came back with a guilty verdict. 

“This brave survivor came forward to tell their story and now Vanderburgh County has one more dangerous man out of our community. These are difficult cases as the perpetrator can carefully choose the place and time of the molestation, attempting to hide behind closed doors with only the young, traumatized survivor as a witness. Even so, my office will make sure these survivors’ voices are heard,” stated Prosecutor Moers. “My office provides support in every step of the judicial process from providing information to victims about service providers and resources, to explanation of the litigation steps. We are here to fight for survivors and their families as a team.” 

Prosecutor Moers thanked EPD Detective Cameron Werne and other officers who assisted in this case. She also thanked Deputy Prosecutors Amanda Honaker and Susan Wilkie, Victim Advocate Teresa Wilcox, and investigatory staff Jessica Pollock and Morgan Richardville. All parties worked rigorously to bring justice for the victim. 

Sentencing is scheduled for March 8, 2024, in front of Magistrate Judge Kelli E. Fink of the Vanderburgh County Circuit Court. The Defendant could face up to 20–40 years for the Child Molesting and 2–12 years for the Incest.

Major Renovation to Upgrade UE Athletics and Intramural Fields

$1.2 million project to renovate turf and bolster campus recreation

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – With a primary goal of positively impacting every member of the University of Evansville community, UE today announced a $1.2 million field renovation project that will elevate the overall collective experience for students, faculty, and staff.

In a partnership between campus and UE athletics, the current intramural fields area located on the northwest tip of campus along the Lloyd Expressway will undergo a major renovation, highlighted by a full turf field.  The field will provide opportunities to the entire UE campus community including a year-round outdoor turf facility for intramurals and the Purple Aces soccer programs, along with an open campus area for students to enjoy recreational activities.

The UE campus has been a vibrant place with multiple completed and ongoing projects lifting its profile and this will be the latest addition.

“This project reflects the University of Evansville’s commitment to our students’ wellness through physical activity including intramural sports and outdoor recreational opportunities,” said Vice President for Student Affairs & Dean of Students Dr. Rachel S. Carpenter.  “This project will give our student body as well as our student-athletes the flexibility of utilizing this outdoor space on a year-round basis.”

Funding for the project was completely covered through the sale of UE’s old Division Street property to Wesselman Woods in June 2023. The UE soccer programs previously practiced on the property that was sold and this renovation will help to provide practice opportunities year-round.

“We are excited to unveil this project, which was an excellent collaboration between our campus and athletics. Our goal was to bring about a positive impact to the entire community and we are confident that will be accomplished with this initiative,” said UE Athletics Director Dr. Kenneth “Ziggy” Siegfried.  “Following the land sale to Wesselman Woods, it was critical to find our soccer programs with an area to replace what was lost and also enhance the overall experience.  Knowing our entire student body can utilize the space at any time of year and any type of weather makes this accomplishment even more meaningful.”

Project construction is set to begin in the coming weeks and be completed in its entirety by the Fall of 2024.

The Salukis are on a five-game losing streak as SIU fell to Belmont, 65-55, on Sunday. Southern Illinois is led by Laniah Randle who is top five in the MVC in both scoring (fourth, 17.6) and rebounding (second, 8.8). Randle has had 20 or more points in 10 games this season for 76th in the NCAA in scoring.

The Lady Bears visit Meeks Fieldhouse as one of the top three teams in the Valley standings but with their first loss in two weeks. Missouri State fell to Murray State on Sunday afternoon at Great Southern Bank Arena for its first home loss since Feb. 19 2023 against Belmont. Currently, the Lady Bears are shooting lights out from behind the arc, as they currently rank 33rd nationally and first in The Valley, shooting at a .357 (120-336) clip from three-point range.

After multiple close losses over the past two weeks, the Aces picked up their first Missouri Valley Conference win on Sunday afternoon. UE was able to overpower the Valparaiso Beacon’s in the paint on the road with a 71-68 win. It was a monumental game for freshman forward Nevaeh Thomas. Thomas set multiple career highs in Valparaiso including rebounds (19), blocks (3), field goals made (10), and field goal attempts (16). Along with setting multiple career highs, Thomas led the Aces in scoring with 23 points while picking up her third double-double of the season and second of the weekend. Thomas was also named the MVC Freshman of the Week for her play against UIC and Valpo.

Junior guard Lexie Sinclair contributed on multiple big plays in the game on Sunday at Valparaiso. In the final 15 seconds of a tight game, Sinclair saved a ball on the baseline to assist on a basket by Thomas and then stole the ball back from the Beacons only two seconds later to give UE one of the final possessions of the game. Sinclair drew a foul on the steal, making one of two free throws to seal the three-point win.

Killer Queen – A Tribute To Queen featuring Patrick Myers as Freddie Mercury returns to the Victory Theatre on Wednesday, July 10, 2024. Tickets go on sale this Friday 2/16 at 10:00 a.m. at Ticketmaster.com.

Lead singer Patrick Myers said “It’s been an amazing journey. That first show changed my life. We thought our band would last maybe a summer at the most but it’s a very addictive thing performing these songs. The concerts grew and grew and we’ve ended up playing and selling out the same arenas that Queen played at their peak. It’s been quite a surreal ride. Becoming regular performers Red Rocks Arena in America is another highlight . The Beatles, U2, Springsteen, Dylan all played on that stage. It’s really got it’s own kind of magic going on there”.

Killer Queen’s first public shows were at London University, following in the footsteps of the real Queen who had played their first shows there decades earlier. 

Killer Queen’s UK popularity grew to such an extent they soon secured a residency in London’s Strand Theatre attracting nationwide BBC coverage – the first tribute to have a show in the West End . 

The band’s reputation continued to grow both in the UK and abroad leading to an awards ceremony in Leicester Square, hosted by Suggs from Madness who presented them with the award for “Worldwide Best Tribute Band”. They also scored a number one hit when they they were asked to recreate Queen’s harmonies for “The Real Life” with Fatboy Slim. 

By now they were in demand in European arenas playing Ahoy, where the now reformed Queen would be performing only a few months later. They were delighted to sell out Forest National Arena where Queen filmed the concert set piece videos such as Hammer To Fall and Don’t Stop Me Now. 

Killer Queen then joined forces with Bjorn Again and The Bootleg Beatles for a Waverley Stadium show in Edinburgh. It was this performance that led to the band being selected to represent Queen in a re-staged tribute LiveAid concert held by Sir Bob Geldof. They performed with him at his arena charity concert to raise funds for the homeless. 

In 2016 Killer Queen set their sights on America including the awe inspiring Red Rocks Arena in Colorado – one of the countries most prestigious venues. The Beatles, Springsteen, U2 have all played there and the band are delighted it’s become a regular fixture on Killer Queen’s tour sheet. 

By 2020 the band were pulling huge arena audiences in Cardiff Motorpoint, Liverpool and Nottingham. 2021 sees th
