Two Ohio farmers focused on conservation will soon be recognized as master farmers.
John Barker is an Ohio State University Extension Educator and previous nominator.
“To be a master farmer, you have to be a very strong advocate for agriculture,” he tells Brownfield. “You need to be someone who is willing to share those experience and who really wants to work with other people to help them better themselves.”
Winners are selected based on their on-farm management, innovation, conservation, leadership, and community involvement.
