Ohio State University Extension is hosting a free field day on fertilizer application

Speakers from Ohio State Extension and Purdue University, as well as local agronomists, producers and agricultural retailers will attend. OSU Extension is the outreach arm of The Ohio State University’s College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences.

Equipment from local dealers will be on display, and there will also be a drone flying demonstration to highlight how producers can use imagery to guide management decisions on the farm.

The event will begin at 8:30 a.m. Participants can visit the indoor exhibits before the education program begins at 9 a.m.

The afternoon events will take place on a nearby farm, where lunch will be provided. Directions to the farm will be available on-site.

CEUs (Continuing Education Units) will be available for Certified Crop Advisors (CCA) who attend the event.

Participants at this event will also meet the requirements for Ohio Department of Agriculture’s Fertilizer Applicator Certification, which requires growers who apply fertilizer to more than 50 acres of land to be certified by Sept. 30, 2017.

Registration for the field day must be done by June 30 through the Miami County Extension office by calling (937-440-3945) or email.
