Eat your Shredded Wheat
Bluffton is surrounded by shredded wheat, but not the kind you eat for breakast. It just looks like that. According to Mark Badertscher of the Hardin County Extention 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 State Route 81 south of Bluffton.
