Ada all about agribusiness
By Monty Siekerman
About 900 farmers and agribusiness people were expected at the annual Conservation Tillage Conference held in McIntosh Center on Tuesday and Wednesday.
People from Ohio, several other states, and Canada were on hand.
More than 30 agribusiness exhibitors displayed and described the latest in farm products. A two-day lineup of speakers--drawn from extension service, Farm Bureau, and universities--told of the latest advances in farming.
