Throughout the year, the Ohio Soybean Council (OSC) will have opportunities to participate in various soybean industry and agricultural related events and meetings. The OSC staff will select appropriate soybean plant research activities in which to participate based on the potential to effectively reach soybean farmers with checkoff information. Additionally, participation in various conferences and meetings throughout the year, promotion of soybean plant research related events, and travel related expenses associated with these events or regional/national soybean research meetings will be funded from this project. Some of the activities would be Soybean Research Center meetings, NCSRP meetings, USB site visits, special events at OSU, national and regional plant research meetings,etc.
