We are looking for people excited about growing vegetables in their home gardens and then letting us know what they think. Youth and adults are welcomed to participate. Each trial contains two varieties that you will grow side by side to compare throughout the season. You can select multiple trials. For each trial you will get:
• seed for two varieties
• Row markets
• A garden layout plan to prepare your rows or beds
• Growing information specific to the crop species you selected, including planting date, plant spacing, nutrient requirements, etc.
• an evaluation sheet
This is open to the general public in Ohio. Last year we had 121 participants from 33 counties. Below is a link to the trial catalog with full instructions, vegetable descriptions and a form that can be printed, filled and mailed in for those not having internet access. The Trial website is u.osu.edu/brown.6000/vegetable-trials/2021-trials/ and contains complete information about the trial. Participants can go directly to the registration site go.osu.edu/veggies2021 to place their order.
The cost is $3 / trial and participants can select up to 5 trials. Those with donation gardens can select additional trials.
Join us for a webinar focused on the ARC/PLC decision for the 2021 crop year. Go to: go.osu.edu/arcplc2021 to register.
Interested in participating in on-farm research with The Ohio State University Extension? If you joined for our Virtual Corn College & Soybean School on February 11th, you heard about some of our on-going research. This free webinar was aimed at helping corn and soybean producers prepare for the upcoming spring. We discussed our latest research trials that involved variety/hybrid testing, plating dates, plant populations, fungicides and more. Our specialists also gave some updates on key pests and diseases from last year and what to be on the lookout for this upcoming year.
If you missed these presentations or would like to watch them again you can find them at Ag Tech Tuesday Videos. During Dr. Laura Lindsey’s presentation, you will see her information regarding research on soybean production systems. 2021 will be the last year for this project and I am looking for a couple of producers to participate in Brown County. The two systems being compared are:
The Ohio State University Responsibilities:
Farmer responsibilities:
Research plots do not have to consist of the entire field. Lengths are typically required to be at least 500 feet long and will consist to 3-4 replications. If you are interested, have questions, or would just like to talk more about this opportunity, call James Morris at 937-378-6716 or email morris.1677@osu.edu. Due to the time involved with research plots we will only be able to conduct on 2-3 farms and the participation will be accepted on a first come basis.
