Ag Breakfast
To celebrate agriculture and honor our local producers, the Ottawa Soil & Water Conservation District, Natural Resources Conservation Service, Farm Service Agency, OSU Extension, and various sponsors host an Agriculture Community Breakfast.
The 2022 Ag Breakfast took place on March 25th at the St. John's church in Oak Harbor. We had over 130 landowners attend the event. The cost to attend the event is $5.00 and reservations are required. All proceeds go back into the community through scholarships that will be awarded to High School students residing in Ottawa County who are going into agriculture, wildlife, forestry or soil and water fields. For more information about our Ag Scholarship, please call OSU Extension at 419-898-3631.
