All Ohio grain and horticulture crop farmers who are looking for information on organic crop production are encouraged to attend this workshop. The program will include OSU researchers and organic farmers who together will present the latest and best recommendations for transitioning to organic crop production. Participants will learn about the organic certification standards and the certification process, soil biology, crop rotations and pest management in organic cropping systems. The economics of organic production, sources for approved production inputs, and the marketing of organic crops will also be discussed.
