Central Ohio Agronomy Day program is set for Thursday, September 4, 2008 from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. at the David Miller Farm, 10750 Millersport Road, Millersport, Ohio. The program will address significant issues and challenges facing grain producers in the Central Ohio area. Resources for the day will include Ken Ferrie, Farm Journal Magazine Agronomist. Mr. Ferrie will present information on how local growers can correct soil problems that were created by the heavy rains and flooding of the spring. Economizing on fertilizer dollars will also be addressed. Many of the sessions during the day will be hands on and in the field. Auto steer and “smart” equipment will be a part of your farming future with “Zone and Grid Soil Mapping” as a major part of the days demonstrations with more than seven companies and technology providers present. A special “ride or drive” opportunity will be provided from 3 p.m. until 4 p.m.

Other sessions will look at plant health programs, managing sky high fertilizer prices and making wise agronomic decisions for 2009 and a grain market review and analysis provided by OSU Grain Market Specialist, Matt Roberts.

The program cost is a $10.00 registration fee. No advance reservations are needed. The cost helps defray the expenses of the program. A free pork loin lunch will be provided. Certified Crop Advisor continuing education credits will be offered. The event is sponsored by the Pickaway, Fairfield, Perry and Licking county offices of OSU Extension.
