VOLUNTEER AT THE FARM SCIENCE REVIEW!

The Farm Science Review attracts over 140,000 visitors each year. The 80 acre exhibit area allows visitors to experience all aspects of agriculture production and an additional 600 acres is used for field demonstrations showcasing the latest innovations in agriculture. The Farm Science Review is sponsored by The Ohio State University College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences and is located at the Molly Caren Agricultural Center in London, Ohio.

Ohio's Electric Cooperatives is an exhibitor at the Farm Science Review and has a building at the Molly Caren Agricultural Center. Employees and board members from electric co-ops across the state volunteer in the building during the review and connect with members attending the event. Manager of Communications and Marketing Jade Guthrie is the secretary of Ohio's Electric Cooperatives' Farm Science Review Committee and attends the event each year.

Visitors see the latest and greatest equipment at the review and learn how to be more efficient at home and through their farming operations. Because those in the agriculture industry are relatively high consumers of electricity, our building's message of efficiency, conservation, and savings is a great benefit to Farm Science Review visitors.

Ohio's Electric Cooperatives' building hosts energy and safety demonstrations. Energy advisors talk with visitors about ways to save on energy bills and vendors offer products and services for homes and farms. The building features cooking demonstrations using recipes prepared in air fryers, pressure cookers, and slow cookers that teach visitors how to cook efficiently.

If you're interested in volunteering at the Farm Science Review September 19, 20, or 21, speak with Jade or your supervisor.
