Why
C.O.R.N.?
The goal of C.O.R.N. is to provide
Ohio's crop industry with the quickest, most accurate
information to deal with changing crop conditions. C.O.R.N.
is produced through a weekly telephone conference and
sent via e-mail and fax to hundreds of Ohio farmers
and input industry personnel. C.O.R.N. content is the
basis for newsletters, and other mass media efforts
in Extension. In one way or another, almost every crop
producer in Ohio has been exposed to information from
this newsletter.
Our users say things
like:
"Excellent, easy to read and
understand."
"I feel C.O.R.N. helps to
keep me timely in confirming those things my scouts
and I have located and in reminding us to keep certain
management and scouting aspects in perspective. Please
continue it."
"Overall very good information
throughout the growing season. Very valuable in the
ever changing spring situations."
How can you start taking
advantage of C.O.R.N. in your operation?
