We are five weeks away from Ohio State University Extension’s Water Quality Team field day: Ditch the Runoff! This is their third annual conservation-focused field day. This year's event will showcase a newly completed two-stage ditch in Williams County, Ohio. Guest speakers will include Greg LaBarge (Ohio State Extension), Dr. Jim Uphaus (Rhodes State College), Manny Lay (Williams Soil and Water Conservation District), Justin McBride (Ohio Department of Agriculture) and Kevin Miller (Williams County Farmer) where they discuss benefits of conservation practices at the edge-of-field and in the pocketbook.
The field day will begin at 9:00 AM on Wednesday, August 20th, 2025, at 10117 CR 21, West Unity. The field day will wrap up at 12:00 PM with lunch to follow.
