A series of nine K-State Soybean Production Schools will be offered in late January to provide in-depth training targeted for soybean producers and key-stakeholders. The schools will be sponsored by the Kansas Soybean Commission.
The schools will cover a number of issues facing soybean growers including: weed control, crop production practices, nutrient management and soil fertility, insects, disease management, and market outlook. More information on specific speakers and topics will be provided in future eUpdate issues as agendas are finalized.
The dates are set and specific locations have been chosen with Schools located across the state.
