Ohio Farm Bureau will be serving complimentary water and apples to visitors as well as showcasing its member benefit partners. Anyone who renews their Farm Bureau membership or joins at the event will receive an Ohio Farm Bureau stainless steel travel mug.

New for this year’s 55th Farm Science Review, visitors will be able to “Map Your Show” on a new mobile app in preparation for the three-day event.

The app, which is available for both Apple and Android smartphone and tablet users, includes interactive maps, a schedule of events, and general information on the show and exhibitors. It’s available by download in the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store by searching for “FSR 2017,” or at the Farm Science Review website.

Sponsored by The Ohio State University’s College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences, the Farm Science Review offers landowners, farmers and conservationists the opportunity to learn about the latest agricultural innovations in research.

Tickets are $7 and are available online. They also are available at county Extension offices and participating local agribusinesses. Tickets can be purchased at the gate for $10 and children ages 5 and under are free.

Educational presentations, demonstrations and displays are ongoing throughout the three days. Research tours on water quality, nutrient management and other topics in partnership with Ohio State and Beck’s Hybrids will be available.

Shuttle wagons will be leaving from the west end of the show site throughout the day to transport visitors to the Gwynne Conservation Area where there will be a focus on wildlife, woodland and aquatics educational opportunities, as well as a streambank protection installation.

Shuttle wagons will also take visitors to a variety of field demonstrations featuring different agronomic operations. Demonstrations include drainage installation, UAV’s (unmanned aerial vehicles), cornstalk baling and much more.
