WAUSEON, Ohio – New farmers and first-time farm buyers can learn how to improve their farm profitability during a four-part workshop series in February offered by the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences at The Ohio State University.
The NextGen Farm Management Series runs Feb. 2, 9, 16 and 23 from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at the Robert Fulton Agriculture Center, 8770 State Route 108, in Wauseon, Ohio.

The series is taught by OSU Extension educators and specialists, as well as agriculture industry professionals. Topics will include:
