Cost-Cutting, Environmental
Practices Highlight Conference
ADA, Ohio Farmers look
ing to cut production costs while
improving their environmental
impact may find such opportu
nities through research informa
tion, management practices and
technology updates being high
lighted at the annual Conserva
tion Tillage and Technology
Conference, Feb. 25-26 at Ohio
Northern University in Ada,
Ohio.
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. For a
copy of the agenda, registration
information, or directions to
Ohio Northern University, con
tact the Hancock County Ohio
State Extension office at (419)
422-3851 or the Allen County
Soil and Water Conservation
District at (419) 223-0040.
