September 3, 2026 Corn to Go, Crops, Top Headlines
By Greg LaBarge, Ohio State University
Farm Science Review brings together expertise from every corner of the agriculture and natural resources sectors for three days of demonstrations, education, and conversations. Whether you’re a farmer looking to improve yields or add a new enterprise, a landowner interested in conservation, or simply curious about how food and fiber are produced, mark September 22-24 on your calendar.
Attendees can experience the latest equipment and technology firsthand, from precision agriculture tools and drones to autonomous machinery and cutting-edge digital innovations, all demonstrated in real-world field conditions. More importantly, visitors have the unique opportunity to speak directly with the researchers, manufacturers, agricultural experts, and educators driving these advancements. The next idea that improves your efficiency or profitability, or prepares you for tomorrow, can be found in London, Ohio.
1. Is technology worth investing in?
From advanced cab electronics and precision application systems to biological products, livestock technologies, and automation tools, Farm Science Review provides an unmatched opportunity to evaluate innovations before making a purchasing decision.
Ohio State University Extension specialists in agronomic crops, livestock, and pesticide education are found as you first enter the grounds from the east parking lot to share the latest research information. Strolling through the exhibit area, you will find ag industry partners with displays on equipment, seed, biologicals, irrigation, feeding, and handling for crops or livestock.
After lunch, the real test comes in the field. Visitors can watch equipment harvest, till, plant, spray, and perform other critical farm tasks under working conditions. Seeing machinery and technology in action allows producers to evaluate performance, understand capabilities, and determine whether an innovation offers practical value and a worthwhile return on investment for their own operation.
2. Can I improve efficiency and profitability?
Measuring economic outcomes and managing risk is critical to sustainable farm businesses. In the center of the exhibit grounds, you can find Ohio State Extension’s Farm Office Team ready to discuss business analysis, budgeting, and ways to make records tell your farm’s financial success and vulnerabilities. Farm Office Specialists in Ag Law can help your farm with resources to navigate today’s regulatory and compliance standards. Over the three days, presentations on improving productivity, managing input costs, enhancing crop performance, and streamlining field operations are available on the “Ask the Expert” stage.
Exhibitors from the financial sector, including banking, crop insurance, accounting, financial software, and commodity marketing services, are found throughout the exhibit grounds, ready to share their expertise to help your operation thrive.
3. Preparing for tomorrow?
Tomorrow’s technology will be on full display during the show, with the opportunity to see how it works and discuss how it may fit your operation by speaking directly with industry and research people involved in the development and testing.
Today’s multi-generational family farm needs to plan for the transfer to the next generation. For many family farms, succession planning represents one of the most important and challenging decisions they will face. The Farm Office Team can guide on beginning the planning process, organizing resources, and developing a transition strategy that supports the goals of all generations involved. Visitors can also connect with attorneys, financial planners, and agricultural business professionals exhibiting at the show to learn how to build a successful succession plan.
Those interested in expanding or diversifying their operations can explore opportunities in the Ohio State Extension Small Farm area, where demonstrations and educational displays highlight horticultural enterprises, specialty crops, livestock ventures, and other enterprises that can complement existing farm businesses. These programs can help farm families identify new growth opportunities and create meaningful roles for the next generation.
Whether you were at Farm Science Review in 2025 or have never attended, you will find plenty of value from spending a day or two at the event. Many visitors attend simply to stay current on agricultural trends, network with others in the industry, or enjoy seeing the latest technology in action. The event attracts a diverse mix of attendees from across Ohio and beyond, with something for farms of all sizes and types.
Advance Farm Science Review tickets are available now for $10 through local Ohio State University Extension offices and online at fsr.osu.edu. Tickets may also be purchased at the gate for $15 during the September 22-24 event in London, Ohio. More details about the 2026 Farm Science Review can be found at fsr.osu.edu, including a full program to plan your visit, available about one week before the show.
Farm Science Review is more than a farm show. It’s an opportunity to answer important questions, discover new possibilities, and see the future of agriculture in action.
