The largest farm show in Ohio, Farm Science Review, will be held Tuesday through Thursday at Molly Caren
Ag Center, located at the intersection of U.S. Route 40 and Ohio Route 38, two miles north of London.
Tickets, at $5 per person, are available until Monday at 4 p.m. at the Extension office.
Check out the entire schedule of activities at www.fsr.osu.edu.
The agronomy demonstration plots at the Farm Science Review will highlight some of the Agronomic Crops
Team’s research, and open the door for questions and comments.
Extension specialists in weed science, crop production, nutrient management, entomology, plant pathology,
bioenergy, cover crops and more will be in the plots and tent to talk with Review visitors.
We will be located in the Exhibit area demonstration plots along the gravel path between the parking lot
and just outside the main Gate C entrance to the show.
Some things to see in the Agronomic Crops Team Demonstration Area include:

– Manure + 28 percent to cover N needs to 160 pounds of N
– Manure in-crop sidedress 160 pounds of N
– Manure on surface 160 pounds of N
– Manure interseeded with Annual ryegrass
• Cover crops – with prevented planting some of you tried; for others after wheat harvest they planted a
cover crop to reduce compaction.
– Spring planted rye
