A series of three K-State Corn Production Management Schools will be offered in early January of 2017 to provide in-depth training targeted for corn producers. The schools are primarily sponsored by Kansas Corn Commission and Pioneer.
The one-day schools will cover up-to-date and specific corn topics: on-farm research, high-yielding corn production practices, weed control, soil fertility, and price and market perspectives. The focus of the Corn Production Schools will be in northwest, central, and eastern Kansas. Schools will be followed by a tour.
