Agricultural Drone Use is topic of Feb. 22 breakfast

HARDIN COUNTY__The 2024 Conservation Tillage Club breakfast program series will conclude on Thursday, February 22 at the Plaza Inn Restaurant, 491 S. Main, Mt. Victory, Ohio. 

  • 7:30 a.m. with a complimentary buffet breakfast
  • 8:00 a.m. Drone use in agriculture program

Henry County OSU Extension Educator Alan Leininger will provide the program. Drones are becoming more common in agriculture than just for scouting crops for insects, weeds, and disease. More recently, they are increasingly being used for seeding cover crops and pesticide applications in fields throughout Ohio. What types of drones are available and what are the legal and licensing requirements to use these new tools on the farm will be questions answered by Leininger.

The Conservation Tillage Club breakfast program series is jointly sponsored by OSU Extension and the Soil and Water Conservation Districts of Hardin, Logan, and Union Counties, and in cooperation with the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service. Continuing education credits for Certified Crop Advisers are available.

Breakfast is courtesy of the generous support from agricultural lenders and agricultural businesses.

All events are open to the public and no advance registration is required.
