The 2024 cropping season has thrown us a few curve balls. Join the U of MN Extension Strategic Farming: Field Notes session on “Takeaways from the cropping season and looking to harvest”, August 21, from 8 to 8:30 am. Dr. Jeff Coulter, Extension corn agronomist, and Dr. Seth Neave, Extension soybean agronomist, will join moderator Dave Nicolai, Extension educator in crops, for a review of the season, evaluation of where we are at, and a discussion on what we should prepare for as the 2024 harvest season draws near. Participants will have the opportunity to have their questions addressed live during the program. For more details and to register, go to https://z.umn.edu/strategic-farming. There is no charge to participate, thanks to generous sponsorship from the Minnesota Soybean Research and Promotion Council and the Minnesota Corn Research and Promotion Council. Note if you have attended any Strategic Farming: Field Notes sessions in 2024, you do not need to register again to join live.
