Farmers aren't in the field today. Instead they are on the ONU campus learning about new ag products and technologies.
Over 500 farmers, consultants, industry reps and government officials are in Ada March 3 and 4 participating in a Conservation Tillage & Technology Conference (CTC), one of the largest agricultural programs in northwestern Ohio.
Over 60 speakers are present and about 40 vendors have product displays and representatives available.

Ada High School will host a College Credit Plus and Credit Flex meeting at 7 p.m., Monday, March 9, in the auditorium for parents and students attending Ada High School, according to Erinn Prater, high school guidance counselor.
Students and parents are invited to attend the meeting to learn about the College Credit Plus program mandated by House Bill 487. The law allows high school students to enroll in college courses while enrolled in high school, if the student meets eligibility requirements set by the college or university.
The new Hardin County Beef Ambassador Program (HCBAP) provides an opportunity for youth to educate consumers and students about beef nutrition, food safety and stewardship practices of the beef industry.
The Beef Ambassador Team will promote the beef industry as they develop skills of leadership, communication and self-confidence. The Beef Ambassador Program seeks to educate team members about the beef industry so that they may be better prepared to tell their own story regarding agriculture.
