For the second year, Kansas Corn and Kansas Soybean are partnering with K-State Research and Extension to offer the Kansas Corn and Soybean Crop Schools. These full-day winter learning sessions will feature informative presentations for both crops.
The schools will cover several issues and opportunities for growers and are tailored to each region. Topics include weed control, insect resistance, fertility management, disease management, late-planting seasons, economics, and farm policy. Full agendas for each location are included below. Morning refreshments and a hot lunch are provided at these in-person schools. CCA and Commercial Pesticide Applicator credits have been applied for.
Each program will start at 9:00 AM (check-in at 8:30 AM) and conclude at 3:00 PM.
