Tippecanoe County

I mean, you could be at risk, your family could be at risk.

We had that judge, uh, judged down in Tippecanoe County not that long ago.

Uh, you know, so you're potentially putting yourself and your family at risk for people that, you know, they may not like how you ruled in a small claims matter, or how their person was dealt with in a criminal proceeding or, uh, you know, a regular civil proceeding.

Because again, especially in civil litigation, someone loses.

This year, three judges from the Court of Appeals of Indiana and the judge from the Indiana Tax Court will be on the ballot for retention.

Appellate Judges Mary DeBeer and Paul Felix will be on every Hoosier voter's ballot, while Judge Dana Kenworthy will only be on the ballots of voters from the counties in the Court of Appeals Second District, which includes Marion, Hamilton, Tippecanoe, Delaware, and Howard Counties.

Tax Court Judge Justin McAdam will also be on every ballot.

The voters will be asked to answer yes or no as to whether each judge should be retained.

So, uh, we have three different counties and- or I'm sorry, three different governments in our county.

So you have Tippecanoe County Sheriff's Department, you have the Lafayette Police Department, then you have the West Lafayette Police Department.

So all of them have their own animal control departments, and they're all ran out of their perspective, uh, police departments.

So that being said, back in 2007, it was a very much a don't be seen, don't be heard, just-

[laughs]

... just, just do the job.

Um, so 2007, uh, the, the city of Lafayette created their own animal control 'cause it was always just kinda ran by one, Tippecanoe County.

And, uh, they created their own and that's, I got in on the ground floor of that.

...

Tippecanoe County, baby-

Yeah

... available in Costco in LA-

So we are just praying for some warmer weather and some dry weather to be able to really get into the fields to get some crops harvested.

It was a very busy week for Ryan Rippy on his farms in Fountain, Montgomery, and Tippecanoe Counties.

We went from 10% done when I talked to you last week on beans, to now we're around 70% done.

We've been dealing with a lot of the processors and elevators have had really long lines due to so much harvest activity going on.

Yeah.

Yeah, Tippecanoe County's been doing this for more than 20 years.

[laughs]

So, you know, I, I think this is a way of just showing that Indiana's laws regard- regarding elections are so antiquated.

And that's the way that the standings work.

I think just the Tippecanoe is just trying to cheer us up here with random information.

Shaq and T-Pain put on an awesome show last night in West Lafayette in consolation for Notre Dame, Toronto, and Purdue.

Go sports.

There was wind damage through there.

There were parts here near us in Tippecanoe County.

I know if you just head a little bit farther west, there was some hail damage.

You head to the northwest part of the state, we've got that derecho that rolled through.

Um, Let's talk about some of the research.

I know that you guys do a lot, obviously.

How has the weather here around Tippecanoe County and some of your other research plots around the state, how has the weather played into some of the research? Because obviously this weather has been like no other year, right? Is there really a year you can compare it to?

No, I can't.
