The 20th annual Northwest Ohio Corn-Soybean Day was held on January 16, 2026 at Founder’s Hall in Archbold. This regional agronomy meeting is a key event for producers, agronomists, and industry professionals seeking the latest row crop insights and research.
Speakers included Amber Emmons, Kendall Lovejoy, Sarah Noggle, Barry Ward, and Kayla Wyse from Ohio State University Extension, Christopher Winslow, PhD, Director from Ohio SEA Grant, Andy Vickers from POET, and a panel of Ohio Corn & Wheat board members. A wide range of topics were covered, offering valuable perspectives on the latest trends, innovations, and best practices in production agriculture. Additionally, over 30 businesses and industry leaders were in-site for networking and engagement. On top of that, participants had the opportunity to earn Ohio Private and Commercial Fertilizer and Pesticide credits as well as Michigan Pesticide and CCA credits.
We would like to extend a sincere thank you to all of the exhibitors and sponsors who contributed to the success of this milestone event!
