Help us congratulate Ken Ford for his 10 years of service with Ohio State University Extension. Ken has spent the past 10 years serving Fayette County as our Agriculture and Natural Resource Educator.

Ken is key in many programs for Fayette County. You can find him teaching pesticide/fertilizer recertification, planning plots for Southwest Ohio Corn and Wheat Growers Field Day (August 18 this year - mark your calendar), identifying weeds or insects in the office or in the fields or presenting at an enology conference, just to name a handful of things. He juggles it all with a smile and we are thankful to have him in our office.

🎉👏CONGRATULATIONS, KEN!👏🎉
