Join Paulding County Extension for their last four Cover Crops Roundtable sessions of 2025! To end the year with a bang, four different experts have been selected to teach about some of our most requested topics, including economics of cover crops for Ohio producers, microbiology and plant interactions, planter technologies for cover crop systems, and soil, phosphorus, and plant interactions. The dates for these sessions are 6:30 PM – 8:00 PM on Tuesdays, September 2nd, October 7th, November 18th, and December 2nd at the Paulding County Extension Office, 503 Fairground Dr., Paulding, Ohio.
This monthly informal roundtable discussion series is a place for growers to network, share ideas, and problem solve with one another about the benefits and issues that utilizing cover crops can bring. Roundtables provide a short educational session geared toward cover crop-related topics, followed by time for discussion. These meetings are open to anyone from cover crop master to novice, in Paulding County and across the region.
Our Fall 2025 sessions will feature guest speakers on four standalone topics, so attendance for all four sessions is not required. Registration is preferred to gauge attendance but not required. Email cochran.474@osu.edu with any questions or to RSVP, or call (567) 344-5016. More information can be found in the event flyer.
