Farm Science Review (FSR) will
induct Terry Howell and, posthumously, John Rockenbaugh into the
Farm Science Review Hall of Fame
on Thursday, Sept. 22 during the
farm trade show’s annual three-day
run.
Howell is the
owner and managing
member of St. Paris,
Ohio-based Howell
Land Development.
Rockenbaugh was
an Ohio Division
Howell
of Wildlife/Soil and
Water Conservation
District wildlife specialist. Both are being
honored for their significant contributions
to the Review, said
Chuck Gamble, who
Rockenbaugh
manages the annual
farm show.
The Farm Science Review, which
this year is Sept. 20-22 at the Molly
Caren Agricultural Center near
London, offers farmers and other
visitors the opportunity to learn
about the latest agricultural innovations from experts from the College
of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences at The Ohio State
University.
Each year, the event inducts
honorees into its Hall of Fame to
recognize significant individual
contributions that have helped to
lead to the success of the Review,
Gamble said.
“We like to take the time to publicly recognize those people who
have taken ownership in Farm Science Review and helped to make
the event what it is today — an
event nationally recognized as a
premier agricultural show,” Gamble
said. “Since the Review’s inception
54 years ago, we’ve inducted 75
outstanding individuals — including our two honorees this year —
into our Hall of Fame.”
Howell, of Urbana, was chosen
because of his efforts to assist in
bringing multiple buildings and
permanent structures to Farm Science Review, Gamble said. Howell,
who was first associated with the
Review as an exhibitor with Butler
Manufacturing in 1974, helped
facilitate the gifting of the Bailey
Building to FSR by Butler Manufacturing. Howell has since attended
the Review as an exhibitor for

Experts to discuss
national, local
grain markets
By Nicole Pierron Rasul
Sept. 21, Small Farm Tent
10 a.m. — Aquaponics:
The Good, the Bad, and
The Ugly, Matt Smith,
OSU Extension
11 a.m. — Increasing Fruit and Vegetable
Based on early harvest data,
Ohio is on track to have a mediocre, at best, grain crop this year,
while Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota,
Nebraska and South Dakota are
all forecast to have record grain
yields, according to a grain market
expert from The Ohio State University.
Matt Roberts, an agricultural
economist in the College of Food,
Agricultural, and Environmental
Sciences, will offer his 2016 grain
market update Sept. 20-21 during
Farm Science Review. The annual
farm trade show is Sept. 20-22 at
the Molly Caren Agricultural Center near London.
Roberts said information from
early harvests has begun to be
compiled, including important
data on what is happening at the
state level.
“At Farm Science Review, we
typically review national and state
grain yields and price outlooks,” he
said. “This year, that is particularly
important because the data is quite
different between the national
picture and what is happening in
Ohio, which makes grain marketing locally more complicated.
“While farmers pay a lot of attention to the Chicago Board of Trade
and national prices, the Farm Science Review is a great opportunity
to hear about what yields look like
in Ohio and to connect with other
growers on this topic.”
Roberts will offer the grain market update during the Review’s
“Ask the Experts” question and
answer sessions. He will field questions on Sept. 20 from 11:20 to
11:40 a.m. and 12:20 to 12:40 p.m.
and on Sept. 21 from 11:40 a.m.
to noon and 1:20 to 1:40 p.m. Ask
the Experts is offered daily at the
Review.
The Review offers farmers and
other visitors the opportunity to
learn about the latest agricultural
innovations from experts from the
college.
Roberts’ grain marketing update
is just one of multiple presentations that will be offered during
“Ask the Experts” at the Review.
Some of the other topics include:

Presentations on alternative enterprises, production systems and marketing systems are a popular draw
at the annual Farm Science Review.
Organizers think big for small farms
Staff report
Organizers of the Small
Farm Center programs at
the 2016 Farm Science
Review are thinking big
this year, with more than
two dozen presentations
planned during the threeday annual farm show.
“They’re always popular,” said Mike Hogan,
Ohio State University
Extension educator and
one of the leaders of the
OSU Extension Sustainable Agriculture Team,
the sponsor of the programs.
But he hopes the “small
farms” moniker doesn’t
fool anyone.
“We’re really focused
on alternative enterprises, alternative production
systems and alternative
marketing systems,” he
said. “We have farmers
of very large operations
come to these presentations. People are looking
for ways to increase profitability no matter their
size or scale.”
The Farm Science
Review, which is Sept.
20-22 at the Molly Caren
Agricultural Center near
London offers farmers
and other visitors the
opportunity to learn
about the latest agricultural innovations from
experts from the College
of Food, Agricultural, and
Environmental Sciences
(CFAES) at The Ohio
State University. OSU
Extension is the outreach
arm of the college.
The Small Farm Cen-
ter presentations will be
offered on the half-hour
beginning at 10 a.m. each
day of the Review, Hogan
said. Each is 50 minutes
long, with sessions alternating between the Small
Farm Building and the
Small Farm Tent. Both
are located at the corner
of Beef Street and Corn
Avenue on the Review
grounds.
In addition, the Small
Farm Center will have
available information and
any handouts from all 27
presentations.
“Most people come to
the Review for just one
day, and our presentations overlap, so it would
be impossible to attend
all of them,” Hogan said.
“But anyone will be able
to find information about
all of the topics no matter
when they attend.”
Popular topics from
past years, such as growing hops and raising
miniature beef cattle, are
on this year’s slate, as
well, Hogan said. Seven
of the sessions will be
led by specialists from
Purdue University, which
partners with Ohio State
to provide educational
programming for FSR.
The schedule for the
small farm programs is:

Agricultural fertilizer info offered at Farm Science Review
Staff report
Ohio farmers unsure of
whether they are required to
get fertilizer certification or
who have questions about
how to maintain fertilization
records can speak one-on-one
with experts from the College
of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences (CFAES)
at The Ohio State University
during this year’s Farm Science
Review, Sept. 20-22.
Ohio State University Extension will host a Pesticide and
Fertilizer Applicator Exhibit at
the three-day farm trade show,
which is held annually at the
Molly Caren Agricultural Center in London.
The exhibit will provide
information on Ohio’s fertilizer
certification requirements as
well as information on pesticide licensing and application
technologies, said Mary Ann
Rose, program director for
OSU Extension’s Pesticide
Safety Education Program.
Passed in 2014, Ohio’s agricultural nutrients legislation
requires individuals who apply
fertilizer on more than 50 acres

Certification Training (FACT)
which offers information on
best management practices to
apply fertilizer for optimum
crop yields, reduce the risk of
nutrient runoff and improve
water quality throughout the
state.
The training, offered by OSU
Extension, fulfills the educational requirements of Ohio’s
new agricultural fertilization
law, Rose said. Farmers who
have questions about the law,
pesticide licensing or application technologies can speak
with Extension professionals
at the exhibit during Farm Science Review to learn more.
“We’ll be available to explain
who needs to be certified and
why,” she said. “We are also
there to offer farmers advice
on how to apply pesticides
and fertilizers both safely and
legally.”

In order to gain the Ohio
Fertilizer Applicator Certification, farmers need to attend
the FACT program in person
and complete the necessary
Ohio Department of Agriculture forms. Information on
where the trainings are being
held can be found on the Ohio
Nutrient Education and Management website at pested.osu.

A limited number of FACT
meetings will be held this summer and fall, with many more
offered in the winter of 2017.
“The exhibit at Farm Science Review will also have
live demonstrations of spray
nozzle technology, information on pesticide licensing and
recertification as well as how
to protect yourself against
mosquito-borne illness like the
Zika virus,” Rose said.

What GMO labeling means for ‘Black Box’ of food storage
Foods with labels indicating they were made with
genetically modified (GMO)
ingredients are coming soon to
a grocery store near you. But
what are the implications of
GMO labeling for the parts of
the food industry that the public seldom sees?
“There has been a lot of
discussion in the media about
whether GMO labels are a
good idea or a bad idea,” said
Matt Roberts, agricultural
economist for the College of
Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences at The
Ohio State University.
“But the truth is more complicated, because, as economists, we need to know the
costs and benefits. And one
of the things that really hasn’t
been discussed well anywhere
is what are the impacts of
labeling on the food system?”
Roberts will oversee a panel
discussion on the issue, “GMO
Labeling and the U.S. Food
System,” from 10 to 11 a.m.
Tuesday, Sept. 20 at Farm Science Review.
The Review is an annual
trade show at the Molly Caren
Agricultural Center in London
about 25 miles west of Columbus. The college runs the
Caren Center and sponsors the
Review, which is Sept. 20-22
this year.
The GMO issue has gained
more attention in recent weeks
as Congress passed and President Barack Obama signed
legislation requiring most
food labels to indicate — with
text, a symbol or a QR code
readable by smartphone —
whether the food contains
GMO ingredients. The U.S.
Department of Agriculture
now has two years to write the
rules that will put the legislation into effect.
The federal law pre-empts
a Vermont state law passed in
2014, which would have taken
effect in July. Advocates of the
Vermont law have cried foul
over the federal legislation, as
the state law was more stringent and would have required
such items be more clearly
labeled with specific wording,
“produced with genetic engineering.”
Adding to the debate is the
growing popularity of voluntary labels verifying that a food
does not contain GMO ingredients.
“All the evidence is that
these products are in every
way equivalent for consumers
and are nearly indistinguishable from each other,” Roberts
said. “But consumers really
care about GMO labeling. It’s
happening.”
Panelists during the discussion will be Ian Sheldon,
Andersons Chair of Agricultural Marketing at Ohio State;
Ken Foster, professor and head
of the Department of Agricultural Economics at Purdue
University; and Andy Vollmar,
food and feed ingredient manager of The Andersons Grain
Group.
The agricultural economicsfocused panel discussion has
become an annual event at
the Review, held in the Tobin
Building on Beef Street on
the west side of the Review
grounds.
Roberts said the effects of
GMO labeling could ripple
throughout the food production and distribution systems.
“What does a national GMO
labeling standard mean for
changes in crops that are being
planted?” he said. “If we see
an increase in demand for nonGMO crops, what does that
do to the marketing channel
— storage and transportation
— in segregating GMO and
non-GMO crops? Are there differences in implications on the
food chain between labels that
say ‘contains GMOs’ versus a
‘non-GMO’ label?”
Roberts hopes the discussion
provides food for thought for
farmers, journalists, legislators
Contributed photo
Labeling of GMO foods has gained much attention in recent weeks. The issue will
be discussed at this year’s Farm Science Review in September.
and policymakers.
“I would like everyone to
come away with a better
understanding of the subtle
costs — the potentially large
costs — involved with GMO
labeling,” Roberts said. “We
do have markets for non-GMO
crops, they do exist, but they
are a very small part of the
overall market. So what happens if in a very short time
period we rapidly expand
that? Is this something that is
relatively easy and well understood, or will this create a lot
of dislocation?”
Implications include logis-

Come to the Farm Science Review. Visitors
can talk one-on-one with
agronomists about everything from weed control
to cover crops.
The Review, Sept.
20-22, is a three-day
trade show for everything
agricultural. It features
field demonstrations,
more than 630 exhibitors,
and 180 educational presentations.
It also features Ohio
State University Extension’s Agronomic Crops
Team, who will meet
with Review visitors,
provide demonstrations
and make presentations.
Extension is the outreach
arm of The Ohio State
University’s College of
Food, Agricultural, and
Environmental Sciences,
which is the sponsor of
the show.
Harold Watters,
agronomist for college,
expects most discussions
at the Agronomic Crops
Demonstration plots to
surround nutrient management and soil quality.
The plots are between
the general parking lot
and Gates B and C, just
east of the main Review
grounds.
“Nutrient management
is driving a lot of our
training right now, with
concerns surrounding
water quality,” Watters
said. “There’s also a
high interest in soil quality, because of efforts
to improve soils so that
water soaks in rather
than running off.
“We are not conducting
research here, but our
demonstration plots illustrate the research we are
conducting elsewhere,”
Watters said. “We can
talk with farmers about
what we are seeing in
the research and how it
applies to their operation.”
Nutrient management
demonstration plots
compare the timing and
placement of fertilizer
and manure applications.
Soil quality demonstrations look at various
residue, cover crop and
additive approaches.
The Agronomic Crops
Demonstrations include:
• Nutrient management demonstrations —
timing and placement
• Nutrient management — manure use
• Soybean and corn
pests and diseases
• Nitrogen management for corn and soybeans
• Long-term soil quality plots
• Cover crops
• Corn planted into a
cover crop
• Herbicide technology
plots
• Weed management

Farm Science Review visitors can talk one-on-one with agronomists
about everything from weed control to cover crops.
• Antique corn plots
and the relation to
today’s genetically modified crops
Agronomic Crops
Presentations, held at 10
a.m. and 2 p.m. each day,
include:
• Nitrogen management: See crop sensors

• On the spray table:
Choosing tips for herbicide tolerant crops
• Soil quality sampling
