Join us this summer at the free Ag PhD Field Day on Thursday, July 28th! We are located just 15 minutes from the Sioux Falls airport, and less than 10 miles from both Interstate 90 and Interstate 29. Our special guest speakers this year will be Nebraska football coach and Hall of Famer Tom Osborne and Mike Golic, former NFL player and co-host of the popular “Mike & Mike” show on ESPN Radio.
This will be our largest event ever, with more to see and do than any Field Day we’ve had in the past. Here are some more of the highlights:
- Irrigated corn and non-irrigated corn, soybean, and wheat plots with yield champions from across the country. We are calling these our “First Steps” plots, as while it is unrealistic to expect these farmers to set national yield records on our farm right away, they are at least taking the first steps to ultra-high yields. This year you will not only get to see their plots, we will have a special section of each plot where you can walk through and get a better look at everything. Plus, each of our First Steps’ farmers will be at the Field Day speaking throughout the day! Check out agphd.com for the complete list of record-setting farmers who will attend.

We’ll have more demonstrations (weather-permitting) on planting, spraying, harvesting, tillage, tiling, and more. As always, we’ll have some ride and drive activities you can participate in, too.
- Darren and I will give you a special guided tour of our research plots, new technologies plots, First Steps plots, and more!
- In addition to listening to some of the best high-yield farmers in the country during the day, you can also hear from other great guest speakers on topics such as estate planning, drainage law, and biotechnology.
- See our schedule on Page 2 for our agenda. We will have kid’s activities, great food throughout the day, and a few special surprises for you, too!
