In Ohio, as a result of a day-long sponsored workshop on cover crops, 43 educators have conducted 16 local programs in 2006 for farm audiences on cover crop topics, resulting in savings to participating families on the average of $427 per farm. Eight of these educators are conducting on-farm research/demonstration projects with cooperating farmers in their local communities. In 2003, no Extension Educators conducted programs on cover crops in their local communities.
