Eat your Shredded Wheat
Bluffton is surrounded by "shredded wheat." It's not the ceral, however. According to Mark Badertscher of the Hardin County Extension Office, those are large round bales of wheat straw. They are used for livestock bedding. In some cases, straw is sold for use as a landscape mulch for highway projects or when seeding lawns. Other uses could be mulch for fruit and vegetable production or gardens. These bales are on a farm south of the Lincoln Highway.
