In a world of increased feed costs, uncooperative weather and problems with forage quality, high milk prices and strong demand are helping some dairy producers make ends meet.

In the last year, about 75 Indiana dairy farms were forced to close their doors because they didn't make enough money to survive or lost too much, coupled with having to meet increased regulations, said Purdue University dairy specialist Mike Schutz.

After a wet spring and extremely dry summer, silage, hay and other forages are expensive but low in essential components, such as energy.

The Golden Heritage Days Festival started Friday in Princeton and there is a new feature on the square.

The new Pocket Park is open.

The park is on the site of an old bank that was demolished last year.

Designers used limestone from the bank building for the park benches, light poles and the center fountain.

"I think it's really nice. I love it. It's a great place just to hang out with some friends and have lunch from the courthouse. I'm sure they appreciate it too," says Princeton resident Tracey Moseley.
