On September 27th, Ohio State University in partnership with the Land Connection will be hosting 2023 Midwest Mechanical Weed Control Field Day at the OSU-Wooster Campus. This one-day field day will feature some of the most advanced and precision mechanical weed control equipment in the industry (click link to see a description of all demos) as well as educational presentations and vender displays. The target audience is grain and specialty crop farmers (conventional, non-gmo and organic), consultants, educators and anyone interested from across the US and Canada. The field day rotates each year through Corn Belt states and will likely not be this close again for several years.
