A series of four K-State Soybean Production Schools will be offered in late-January 2016 to provide in-depth training for soybean producers.
The one-day schools will cover issues facing soybean producers: weed control strategies, crop production practices, soil fertility and nutrient management, insect and disease control, and risk management.
