More than 80 locals gathered for the recent Brown County Farm Tour.
The Brown County Farm Bureau and Brown County OSU Extension were excited to offer a three-part summer series. Throughout the summer, there have been multiple seminars covering topics of Private Pesticide Category CORE recertification, Integrated Pest Management and monitoring insect update on the black cutworm, true armyworm, fall armyworm, western bean cutworm, european corn borer, and corn earworm. Additional field reports regarding insects, weeds, and diseases were also discussed throughout these sessions.
Aug. 20, the final piece of the seminar was a farm tour. More than 80 locals started at Fussnecker Farms (10068 Hamer Rd., Georgetown, OH 45121) for 30 minutes of Private Pesticide Category 1 (grain and cereal crops) recertification and an overview of Fussnecker Farm’s/OSU Extension’s soybean on-farm research plot.
