If you didn’t already know, then let me tell you that the Farm Science Review is the largest farm show in Ohio. Typically there are 120,000 and more attendees over the three-day period – this year September 22, 23 & 24 in September – next week. The site for the show is the Molly Caren Agricultural Center located just north of London, Ohio at the intersection of US 40 and SR 38. And also if you didn’t know, the site is owned by The Ohio State University and operated by the College of Food, Agriculture and Environmental Sciences – making it the largest show in the country that provides a site to talk with all of your suppliers but to also access a very large pool of research-based, unbiased university faculty.

At 2100 acres the site is also a working farm, and not only do they provide a place to visit with exhibitors, researchers and others farmers – but they also have on-site demonstrations of the equipment that you can buy this fall or expect to purchase in the near future. And the future is the key, we want to help you make it through another season, profitably, and we want to see that continue into the future. The theme for this years show is about the farmers and citizens of Ohio (and nearby states), “Your 2009 Bale Out” starts with your visit to the site and ends when ALL of your questions are answered.

Highlights of this years show:
• Animal Welfare, ask about Issue 2
• The Gwynne Conservation area, invasive species a problem – ask here, need replacement trees for you ash - again ask here.
• Disabled but still need to farm to provide for your family – we highlight AgrAbility this year in the Ag Engineering area of OSU Central.
• Field demonstrations – corn harvest, soybean harvest, tillage, planting, GPS, manure applications – see the new equipment here.
• Small Farms – have a small enterprise and want ideas on crops, livestock enterprises and marketing ideas (real important), – see it all in the Center for Small Farms.
• Small plot demonstrations – between the parking lot and the main exhibit area, we have set out small plots of weed control, disease management, “antique corn” and maximum yield. And you can ask about all of these in the OSU Central area of the OSU Agronomic Crops Team members – in the Extension Education and Research Tent.
• And a whole lot more.
