A yearly agriculture event, the Farm Science Review (FSR), marks its 50th anniversary this year in Ohio.
Taking place September 18, 19 and 20, the FSR attracts nearly 140,000 visitors from the U.S. and Canada who come to learn about the latest in agricultural research, products and services, and experience educational exhibits, presentations and demonstrations relating to natural-resource management and the crop and livestock industries.
According to its website, this year’s three-day event will feature:
- Millions worth of machinery
- The Ohio Farmer Conservation awards — Thursday, September 20 at 11:30 a.m.
- Farm, home and health-safety information
- Hands-on Global Positioning Systems (GPS) demonstrations
- Conservation-practice programs
- Harvesting, strip-tilling, global positioning, manure and tillage field demonstrations
- Equipment demonstrations focused on improved nutrient placement
Three individuals will also be inducted to the FSR Hall of Fame, including Professor Jim Beurlein with The Ohio State University, Mike Gahn, DuPont Pioneer representative and Dr. Bobby Moser, past vice president and dean of the College of Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences at The Ohio State University.
FSR is located at The Ohio State University’s Molly Caren Agricultural Center in London, Ohio, and is sponsored by the College of Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, Ohio State University Extension and the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center.
