A series of four K-State Soybean Production Schools will be offered in early February 2015 to provide in-depth training targeted for soybean producers and key stakeholders. The schools will be held at four locations around the state.
The one-day schools will cover a number of issues facing soybean growers: irrigation management; weed control strategies; crop production practices; nutrient and soil fertility management; and insect and disease management.
