The conference will cover a wide range of topics including agriculture-related panel discus sions, strip till research, weed and pest management, soil fer tility, GMO crops, value-added farming, crop consulting, soil and water quality issues, preci sion agriculture and producer programs. The event is being sponsored by Ohio State University Exten sion, Northwest Ohio Soil and Water Conservation Districts, United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service, USDA Farm Service Agency and the Ohio No-Till Council. “The conference is designed to help farmers become more profitable and more environ mentally responsible using con servation tillage and other technologies,” said Randall Reeder, an Ohio State Extension agricultural engineer. “It’s a fact that sediment is still the number one pollutant in terms of volume and it also carries chemicals that are attached to it. Keeping the soil on the land where it belongs not only mini mizes environmental damage, but maintains soil quality. Top soil is a farmer's most valuable resource.” Over 50 speakers from land grant universities, the farming sector and agricultural indus tries and organizations will be speaking at the two-day confer ence. Highlights include a dis cussion of the 2002 Farm Bill, the latest in GMO crops from Monsanto and a presentation by Ohio State geologist Lonnie Thompson on the effect glaciers have on the land. “We have topics that target livestock farmers, a group that you wouldn’t think would be in terested in a conservation tillage program. But there will be sev eral topics related to livestock operations that have a heavy emphasis on environmental quality, such as composting,” said Reeder. Conference sponsors are also offering sessions on soil and water quality issues targeted specifically to crop consultants. “ This one day session will likely give them the desired five CCA (Certified Crop Advisor) credits, which are pretty difficult to come by,” said Reeder. Early registration is $2O per day or $3O to attend both days. Registration after Feb. 11 is $3O a day or $4O for both days.
