The Ohio AgriBusiness Association and Ohio State Extension partner annually to hold the Farm Science Review Agronomy College. The event provides up-to-date perspectives for agronomists, Certified Crop Advisers, custom applicators and farmers on current agronomy issues.
Edge of Field Nutrient Discharge Research – Jed Stinner, Hydrologic Technician, USDA-ARS
Farmer Phosphorus Plots in NW Ohio – Bill Beckman, Natural Resources Administrator, ODA, and Todd Hesterman
Over the last 50 years, both crop and livestock production systems in the U.S. have become increasingly specialized and separated. A two-year Ohio State project has partnered with 31 working Ohio farms to examine the economic, ecological, and social impacts of specializing or integrating these farming systems.
The OABA 4R Technology Review Field Day event will bring together experts in the field of agriculture technology and conservation to share their knowledge and best practices for implementing 4R nutrient management. Attendees will have the opportunity to explore the latest technology and techniques in fertilizer management, precision agriculture, and soil health. This is a great opportunity to learn about the latest advances in agriculture and connect with industry experts.
Presented by Wayne SWCD in cooperation with The Ohio State University. RSVP preferred by not required – Wayne SWCD (330) 263-5376.
With insights from over 45 years of phosphorous fertilizer research, Dr. Manbir Rakkar, will share current recommendations for phosphorus applications and examples of best management practices to keep nutrients working for us in growing crops rather than against us as a contaminant of surface water. Â
