Ohio Soybean Council Hosts Regional Meetings

WORTHINGTON, Ohio – The Ohio Soybean Council (OSC) and soybean checkoff will be hosting six regional meetings in January and February for farmers and industry stakeholders across the state.  The What’s Soy Doing for You meetings will offer an update on soybean checkoff programs and initiatives, as well as regional issues that affect agriculture.

“These meetings will be a great way for local farmers to get a snapshot of targeted issues affecting their communities,” said John Motter, OSC chairman from Hancock County.  “There will also be an opportunity to ask questions and network with local leaders and other farmers.”

Each meeting will include a keynote speaker about a local agricultural issue and a panel discussion featuring farmers, business leaders and other industry experts from the community.

All farmers and industry stakeholders are invited to attend, so be sure to mark your calendar.
