This year's Ohio State University Farm Science Review is upon us, and we have quite a number of exciting events and exhibits that will be showcased.

The event will be held Sept. 22-24 at the Molly Caren Agricultural Center in London, Ohio.

Media tickets and parking passes for the Review are now available, and we are now filling media requests for attendance. Please fill out the attached PDF or the form below and either fax it to (614) 292-2270, e-mail it to Candace Pollock at pollock.58@cfaes.osu.edu, or mail it to Candace Pollock, FSR media relations coordinator, 216 Kottman Hall, 2021 Coffey Rd., Columbus, OH 43210-1044.

The following are just some of the highlights to look forward to at this year's Farm Science Review:

1. Purdue University is becoming a permanent resident at Farm Science Review. Once again, Purdue specialists will be joining Ohio State researchers to bring the best both universities have to offer in agriculture, nutrition, family and consumer sciences and natural resources.

2. Farm Science Review will offer topics on farm financial management and agriculture law. Such topics include farm wages and benefits, cropland values, cash rents, custom rates, transition planning, and dairy farm management.

3. Animal welfare is a hot topic in Ohio this year. Look for Ohio State animal sciences specialists and exhibits on animal welfare education in the Firebaugh Building.

3. Ag rescue demonstrations return to the Safety Education Tent, located in Alumni Park. These demonstrations will highlight the appropriate techniques for utilizing rescue equipment when responding to agricultural emergencies. Demos run each day at 10 a.m., noon, and 2 p.m.

4. From ethanol to wind power to hydrogen fuel cells, interest in bioenergy continues to grow. Look for a wide variety of bioenergy topics during the event, many of which will be showcased in the new energy education tent located in Alumni Park.

5. The National AgrAbility Project is coming to Ohio. The project assists those with disabilities who are employed in agriculture. The project will officially kick off at Farm Science Review. Look for information at the Safety Education Tent.
