This conference is traditionally held at Ohio Northern University
Posted by Fred Steiner on Tuesday, February 23, 2021

This spring's Conservation Tillage and Technology Conference traditionally held on the Ohio Northern University campus is virtual this year. 

Four days of topic related programming will be provided March 9-12, (Tuesday-Friday). There is still time to register. Each day will start at 8 a.m. and will have five hours of programming, ending about 2 p.m.

That adds up to 20 hours of presentations on current topics important for farmers, crop consultants and educators.

Because the program is virtual and therefore travel is not an issue, the planning committee has put together a list of national experts from universities, agencies, industry professionals and others.
