[Jill Clark]

Less than one week to register for the 10th Annual Ohio Farmland Preservation Summit! -  http://cffpi.osu.edu/summit09.htm

For this landmark anniversary, we offer an exciting and information-packed agenda.  To help us celebrate a decade of gatherings, The Ohio State University President, Gordon Gee, will give a welcome and USDA Deputy Secretary, Kathleen Merrigan, will provide an address via video.  There will also be exhibition space and a fresh produce market with live music in the afternoon.

Plenary and breakout sessions are available on a variety of topics ranging from the basics of preserving the farm business, adapting to climate change through soil management, using surveys to gauge support for farmland protection, results from the latest census, to food policy and Ohio farmland.
