Nearly 200 industry professionals participated in Wednesday's OPGMA SummerTour & Field Day. The activities began at Bauman Orchards in Rittman. Attendees visited with the 25 exhibitors who displayed their newest equipment, packaging, chemicals, and services.

Participants took wagon tours through Bauman Orchards. Speakers along the tour discussed disease research, the peach crop, tree training strategies, irrigation, Bauman's retail market, and their fruit grading and storage systems. At lunch OPGMA president Bob Jones hosted a brief welcome session and Ohio State's Diane Miller provided a fruit crop damage update.

Following lunch, attendees were welcome to tour the Don Ramseyer Potato Farm in Smithville. There participants learned about potato production and saw the equipment used in the operation. Just down the road at Ramseyer Farms in Wooster attendees learned about educational corn mazes and other agritainment activities.

OPGMA would like to thank the hosts, exhibitors, sponsors, and attendees.
