For the first time in its nearly 60-year history, The Ohio State University’s Farm Science Review, scheduled for Sept. 22 to Sept. 24, will not be held in person, writes Sherrie Whaley at Ohio State News. Instead, a virtual show will be implemented for 2020.
The farm show, sponsored by Ohio State’s College of Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences (CFAES), annually attracts over 100,000 visitors from all over the U.S. and Canada to the show site in London, OH.
“We are committed to delivering a robust and innovative virtual show in support of agriculture during this pandemic,” said Cathann A. Kress, vice president and dean of CFAES.

Popular educational programs feature specialists from Ohio State, Central State University and other land-grant institutions.
