SUMMARY:Determining Biological Nitrogen Fixation in Maize Varieties in Ohio
DESCRIPTION:To celebrate the first annual Ohio Soil Health Week\, participants are invited to visit a maize experiment at Waterman Farm in Columbus\, Ohio (adjacent to OSU) where different maize varieties were grown during the summer of 2024 that fix nitrogen (N) from the air\, promoted by beneficial bacteria in aerial roots with mucilage\, offsetting the need for mineral N fertilization. The Maize plots in this experiment are a great example that Improved\, Heirloom and Mexican Landrace Maize can be grown in Ohio with little nitrogen input\, providing researchers and farmers a reliable solution to decrease over-reliance on fertilizers and reduce environmental hazards on soil. \n

SUMMARY:Contemporary Differences in U.S. Farm Financial Performance By Race: Does Farm Size Matter?
DESCRIPTION:What are the similarities and differences across farms operated by producers of different races? \nThis talk—part of the 2024 CFAES DEI Speaker Series—examines whether farm financial performance differs among farms operated by White\, Black\, and Native American producers. Black and Native American farmers\, in particular\, have struggled to hold on to farmland over the last century. The talk will explore the historical context in which these farms operate and highlight observed racial differences in performance for farms that engage in beef cattle production\, an industry in which a large share of Black and Native American producers specialize. The findings will be placed in the broader context of other work examining socially disadvantaged farmers and ranchers. \nAbout the speaker: \nDr. LaPorchia Collins is a research agricultural economist in the Market and Trade Economics Division for the USDA\, Economic Research Service (ERS). At ERS\, she examines issues affecting the U.S. livestock\, dairy\, and poultry industries. Her research covers topics related to food security\, inequality\, and the environment. Prior to joining ERS\, Dr. Collins served as a Professor of Practice and Director of Undergraduate Studies in Economics at Tulane University. Her research has been published in high-impact\, applied economic and interdisciplinary journals such as The American Journal of Agricultural Economics\, Applied Economics Perspectives and Policy\, Empirical Economics\, and Applied Geography\, among others. She earned her doctoral degree in agricultural\, environmental\, and development economics from The Ohio State University and bachelor’s degree in agricultural economics from Southern University and A&M College.

SUMMARY:On-Farm Organic Vegetable Trials 2025 Working Group Meeting: OOFRN August Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The Ohio Organic Farmer Researcher Network invites you to join in making key decisions about a state-wide organic vegetable variety trial for the 2025 growing season. Variety trials are a useful and relatively easy entryway into on-farm research. When replicated on multiple farms\, the results can offer good information across the variety of growing conditions in our state. Be part of this discussion to make sure these plans are practical and focused on useful questions. \nIf you’d like to be part of this working group\, but can’t make the meeting\, please let OOFRN know and they’ll send other options for weighing in.
