Warner On-Farm Research Proposals Being Accepted

By Cassandra Brown

The OSU College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences (CFAES) Sustainable Agriculture Team and Agroecosystems Management Program (AMP) has issued their annual call for proposals to conduct on-farm research on sustainable agriculture topics. This program is made available through the Paul C. and Edna H. Warner Endowment Fund established specifically for on-farm research in sustainable agriculture related to crop (agronomic and horticultural) and animal production systems that are intended for human consumption.  Research is intended to identify and publicize sustainable agricultural practices and systems that are profitable, socially responsible, energy efficient and improve water quality and other environmental concerns relevant to Ohio farmers.

Farmers are invited to partner with OSU scientists and extension educators to carry out on-farm projects.
