The third annual Midwest Soil Improvement Symposium: Research and Practical Insights into Using Gypsum is planned for March 7, 2013, in conjunction with Ohio State University's Conservation Tillage and Technology Conference in Ada, Ohio. The conference is scheduled for March 5-6. Both events will be held at the McIntosh Center on the campus of Ohio Northern University.
Co-sponsors for the Midwest Soil Improvement Symposium are the GYPSOIL division of Beneficial Reuse Management, Chicago, Ilinois; the Conservation Technology Information Center, West Lafayette, Indiana; and Ohio State University.
Confirmed speakers for the March 7 event include:
Background on gypsum use, research highlights, and gypsum impacts to soil and water quality and crop productivity, plus tips for gypsum application, will be discussed. In addition, there will be panel discussions with growers experienced at using agricultural gypsum.
The Midwest Soil Improvement Symposium is designed for certified crop consultants, university and extension personnel, farm managers, farm producers and others interested in soil science. Last year's symposium was held at Rulon Enterprises in Arcadia, Indiana, and drew nearly 200 people. Continuing Education Unit credits for Certified Crop Advisers will be available.
