A commentary by Fred Yoder, who is part of a grain-farmer group in west-central Ohio is published in Ohio Farmer and featured on Farm Progress. The commentary describes new farmer-led research to help soils. Yoder and the grain-farmer group will embark on a project looking at a range of fungicides and multiple ways of using them to see which ones work best to protect corn and soybeans and determine if they are worth the investment. Their findings will be made available to all. The on-farm research and collaboration is one of the new farmer-led projects associated with 'From the Ground Up' and is supported by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture.
