    Fertilizer Certification Window Closes Soon

    It doesn’t seem very long ago that we were first getting information about SB 150, and what it might mean to our farming operation.   At that time there was no urgency because we didn’t have to have this until September of 2017. 

    There have been many opportunities to get certified since then.  In fact, there have been over 17,250 people certified in Ohio in the past 3 years by OSU Extension.  There are still a few opportunities to become certified through a 3-hour training class before the September 30 deadline, however they are becoming fewer.  There is no an age limit.

  9. Last Chance to Register for PlanterU: Be Prepared for Spring Planting

    Author(s): John Fulton

    Planting remains a crucial field operation establishing maximum yield potential.  Mistakes or poor planter performance can reduce yield potential.  Variables such as seed spacing, seeding depth and optimizing seedbed preparation for proper soil-to-seed contact are important to achieving potential yields.  Proper planter maintenance and setup are fundamental to get ready for spring planting.  Purdue University research indicated that a 2bu/ac decrease in corn yield for every inch in standard deviation of seed spacing, plus there can be yield loss with poor emergence and non-even stands.
