The Farm Science Review is September 20-22 this year and will offer farmers and other visitors to the annual farm show the opportunity to learn the latest agricultural innovations from experts from the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences at The Ohio State University.<\/p>\n
That includes offering some 180 educational presentations and opportunities presented by educators, specialists and faculty from Ohio State University Extension and the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center, which are the outreach and research arms, respectively, of the college.<\/p>\n
Purdue University educators will also present, said Matt Sullivan, assistant manager of the Farm Science Review, which is located at the Molly Caren Agricultural Center in London, Ohio.<\/p>\n
\u201cVisitors to FSR will be able to learn new techniques and strategies to improve their farming operations\u2019 bottom line,\u201d Sullivan said. \u201cRight now is a challenging time in agriculture with low commodity prices, so farmers and producers of all sizes will be able to come and learn about new programs and ideas to improve their farming operations.<\/p>\n
\u201cTopics will include several issues including the agriculture economy, grain markets, land values and cash rents.\u201d<\/p>\n
Following the theme \u201cMy FSR,\u201d visitors will be able to experience the show with a more personalized perspective, Sullivan said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe goal this year it to invite people to see the Farm Science Review through new innovations and take part in educational programing that offers information on what they are looking for,\u201d he said. \u201cThis event is now in its 54th year. It has become a place that people want to be a part of because we offer ideas from farming to conservation and everything in between, and people can experience it in their own way.<\/p>\n
\u201cSome people come for the exhibitors, others for field demonstrations or the Extension programing \u2014 that\u2019s what makes it a truly unique event.\u201d<\/p>\n
This is just a sampling of what participants can expect to see during the three-day farm trade show, which is nationally recognized as a premier agricultural event. FSR annually draws between 110,000 and 130,000 farmers, growers, producers and agricultural enthusiasts from across the U.S. and Canada.<\/p>\n
In addition to more than 4,000 product lines from 630 commercial exhibitors and educational opportunities from Ohio State and Purdue specialists, other Review events will include:<\/p>\n
\u2022 Field to Faucet water and nutrient research tours. Participants can learn more about the joint projects between Ohio State and Beck\u2019s Hybrids, featuring research on water quality and nutrients, nutrient use efficiency for nitrogen and phosphorus, precision agriculture and compaction, and high yield factors.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Plot demonstrations by members of the OSU Extension Agronomic Crops Team on corn, soybean, cover crops and bio-energy crops established at the eastern edge of the Review exhibit area. The plots are just outside Gate C near the main entrance gate.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Daily field demonstrations in the fields north of Interstate 70. The demonstrations will include corn harvesting, soybean harvesting, tillage, nutrient application, planters and field drainage installation.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Live streaming of an unmanned aerial system for real-time crop surveillance. Used as another tool in the farmer\u2019s precision agriculture toolbox, the drones can be used to provide useful local site-specific data including crop scouting and geo-referencing. This allows growers to monitor pesticide dispersion, fertilizer usage and crop health parameters.<\/p>\n
\u2022 A building at the corner of Kottman Street and Land Avenue that features 40 new booths with a wide variety of agriculture industry exhibitors, including 20 new exhibitors to the Farm Science Review this year. They include seed, insurance and other agriculture companies. Adding these exhibitors will broaden the show\u2019s breadth of exhibitors, Sullivan said.<\/p>\n
Hours are 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. September 20-21 and 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. September 22.<\/p>\n
