Participants for the twenty-fourth annual Hardin Leadership class, a program designed for the development of informed and effective community leaders, are being recruited now until March 4.
Hardin Leadership is sponsored and conducted by the Hardin Leadership Steering
Committee. Nine monthly sessions will focus on the knowledge/skills required by today's community leader, such as team building, public speaking, and marketing.
This year’s program will be offered in morning sessions on the second Thursdays, March through November except for the third Thursday in September because of the Hardin County Fair.
That's right, for two days in early March, you might as well refer to Ohio Northern University as Corn University and Soybean School.
Why?
The Conservation Tillage Conference will be held at the McIntosh Center Wednesday and Thursday, March 2 and 3. It's an event put on by The Ohio State University’s College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences (CFAES).
Over 900 persons are expected to attend.
CTC will offer many presentations to help growers learn where to cut back while ensuring they have healthy soils, healthy water and hopefully a healthy bank account.
