2017 Ohio State
University’s Farm Science Review – September 19, 20 and 21
From Sam Custer
OSU Extension, Darke County
The Farm Science Review, one of the nation’s premier agricultural trade
and education shows, will be held at the Molly Caren Agricultural
Center in London, Ohio, September 19-21.
New for this year’s 55th Farm Science Review, visitors will be able to
“Map Your Show” on a new mobile app in preparation for the three-day
event. The app will be available in app stores beginning in July.
Visitors will be able to browse the interactive map and search for
specific exhibitors or product categories.
Sponsored by The Ohio State University’s College of Food, Agricultural,
and Environmental Sciences, the Farm Science Review offers landowners,
farmers and conservationists the opportunity to learn about the latest
agricultural innovations in research.
Advance sale tickets for the 2017 Farm Science Review can be purchased
at your Ohio State University Extension, Darke County, office at 603
Wagner Avenue, Greenville. All advance sale tickets are $7.00 each;
ages 5 and under are free. Gate tickets will be $10.00. We also have
information at our office for the special needs vehicles.
“Visitors will be able to see over 4,000 product lines exhibited by 640
exhibitors,” said Nick Zachrich, Farm Science Review Manager. More than
120,000 usually attend the event.
Educational presentations, demonstrations and displays are ongoing
throughout the three days, said Zachrich. Research tours on water
quality, nutrient management and other topics in partnership with Ohio
State and Beck's Hybrids will be available.
Visitors seeking credits for Certified Crop Advisors (CCA) or pesticide
application recertification should check the event schedule or watch
for press releases in August and September, said Zachrich.
Shuttle wagons will be leaving from the west end of the show site
throughout the day to transport visitors to the Gwynne Conservation
Area where there will be a focus on wildlife, woodland and aquatics
educational opportunities, as well as a streambank protection
installation.
Shuttle wagons will also take visitors to a variety of field
demonstrations featuring different agronomic operations. Demonstrations
include drainage installation, UAV's (unmanned aerial vehicles),
cornstalk baling and much more, said Zachrich.
Starting in late July, the digital directory for the Farm Science
Review can be found on the website, said Zachrich. The digital
directory is the online version of the app.
