University efforts to generate community support for a university farm.
Joe Hogan*1, 1The Ohio State University, Wooster, OH.
Maintaining the functional viability of university farms to assure availability of animals for teaching and research requires the cooperation of many entities both within and outside the university. The approach used by the Waterman Dairy on the Columbus campus of The Ohio State University to involve several groups outside the university will be presented as a successful example of community support. Key contributions from communities outside the university to be highlighted were provided by dairy producers, a breed association, local civic organization dedicated to water conservation, state governmental agencies and a dairy processor. The essential needs for cooperation from college and departmental administration will also be discussed. Specific outcomes from these private sector and university communal approaches for dairy farm support were the repopulation of the herd, renovation of facilities, employment of land and water conservation measures, and innovative marketing of products from the herd. Based on the experiences gained from revitalization of the Waterman Dairy, specific suggestions for involving community support for university farms will be presented.
