More Than 300 Agribusiness Professionals Came Together for Education, Networking

More than 300 Ohio AgriBusiness Association members, agribusiness professionals and industry stakeholders came together for the 2013 OABA Crop Production and Seed Technology Conference last week in Columbus, OH.

Jan. 30 featured the OABA Industry Dinner and Annual Meeting, with keynote speaker Dr. Bruce McPheron – the new Vice President of Agricultural Administration and dean of The Ohio State University’s College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences. New and re-elected OABA Board of Directors were also announced (click here to read more) during the OABA Annual Meeting portion of the dinner.

The Crop Production and Seed Technology Conference was the first OABA event of its kind, and combined two OABA events with invaluable networking opportunities for agronomy and other agribusiness professionals. Participants who attended the three-day conference were eligible for 19 Certified Crop Adviser continuing education credits and five ODA Pesticide Applicator Certification credits.
