Wouldn’t it be great if you could cut your expenses by 5 to 10 percent and watch your yields go up by 5 to 10 percent at the same time? Not only is that possible, we can absolutely help you do that if you attend each of our 3 big events, our free Ag PhD Agronomy Workshops, Soils Clinics, and Tiling Clinic.
At our Agronomy Workshops, you will receive a free agronomy manual, and many ideas that will help your operation in 2016 and beyond. Our topics will vary depending on the location and the crops and pest issues in that area, but here are some of the things we’ll be discussing:
- Roundup Ready 2 Xtend – where does it fit, and how can you have the greatest success with this new trait
- What did we learn from last summer’s Ag PhD Field Day plots featuring yield champs in corn, soybeans, and wheat
- 2015 Ag PhD and farmer research plot summaries
- Which input expenses to cut vs. which to keep
- Resistance issues – weeds, diseases, insects
- Suggested pest control programs for 2016 in corn, soybeans, wheat, sunflowers, milo, cotton, rice, lentils, field peas, canola, and pasture
- New pesticides & seed traits for 2016 and beyond
- How can I repeat or improve on this past year’s good yields in corn and soybeans
- Disease control/suppression for some of the worst problems we saw in 2015 including northern corn leaf blight, white mold, sudden death syndrome, pod & stem blight, and fusarium head blight
- Cover crops – blends to maximize yields and potential disadvantages & benefits
- iPhone & iPad apps you need
At the conclusion of most of our workshops, we will be broadcasting our one-hour daily Ag PhD Radio Show live from our workshop venue. We invite you to join us for this and ask questions during the show. We will be giving away free Ag PhD merchandise during the radio show.
