The West Central Research, Extension and Education Center will host its 20^th annual Water, Crops and Soil Health Field Day on September 5 at 8:30 a.m.

All area producers are encouraged to attend the field day free of charge to learn more about water, crops and soil health. A complimentary lunch will be offered to those in attendance.

The field day will begin with registration and continue with demonstrations, field tours, discussions and more. Attendees will have the opportunity to experience the Natural Resources Conservation Service rainfall simulator to better understand water and its impact.

Local researchers and experts will discuss weed control, water management, pesticide applications, soil health, carbon markets, and other topics. Interested participants will receive continuing education units from the Certified Crop Advisor Program by participating in the field day and learning more about soil health.

Vendors will be available throughout the day to offer information on how they can help grow and better participants' operations.

Border View Farms is a mid-sized family farm that sits on the Ohio-Michigan border. My name is Nathan. I make and edit all of the videos posted here. I farm with my dad, Mark and uncle, Phil. We also have a part-time employee, Brock. My dad started the farm in 1980. Since then we have grown the operation from just a couple hundred acres to over 3,000. Watch my 500th video for a history of our farm I filmed with my dad.

I started making these videos in the fall of 2019 as a way to help show what I do on a daily basis as a farmer. Agriculture is different from any other industry and I believe the more people that are showing their small piece of agriculture, helps to build our story. We face unique challenges and stressful situations but have some of the most rewarding payoffs in the end. I get to spend everyday doing what I love, raising my kids on the farm, and trying to push our farm to be better every year. I hope that I can address questions or concerns that you might have about farms and agriculture.

I hope you enjoy my content and ask questions as you have them. I do my best to answer anything I can. Thanks for watching!
