Farm Science Review, and Ohio State University’s water quality initiative, Field to Faucet has received a significant boost. 

Beck’s Hybrids has announced a $1 million dollar commitment over 5 years. 

“Half of that gift is going towards the three research projects under the Fields to Faucet initiative,” said Hilary Price, Director of Corporate and Foundation Partnerships for the College of Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences (CFAES). “The additional moneys are going to support the Farm Science Review.”
