If
you’ve never been to an Ag PhD workshop, it’s
definitely better than Ag PhD TV, as Brian and Darren won’t
hold back on talking about which products and practices
will work on your farm, but more importantly, which ones
won’t. Here are some of the topics and questions they’ll
cover during each workshop:
New herbicides/fungicides/insecticides – In
the last 3 years we’ve seen a huge amount of new products,
but which ones are the best? Which ones are the worst? When
are the right and wrong times to spray?
2008 Yield results from the Hefty farm and other farms
across the region – Which agronomic practices are
paying and which ones aren’t? You’ll learn more
about bug problems, diseases, herbicides, biological products,
and more.
Tiling – We bought our own tile plow a year
ago, and have since put in over 30 miles of tile ourselves.
We’ll talk about some of the advantages and pitfalls
as well as how you CAN get tiling done in your area, even
though many people say you can’t. Installing tile may
be a little work, but it’s another job that pays WAY
more than $100 an hour if you do it yourself.
Israel – Brian and Darren took a trip to Israel
this year. How do farmers thrive in a country full of machine
guns, terrorists, and desert conditions? You’ll find
out.
When will P & K be worth using again? –
You probably already know that you can’t afford to
apply P & K to corn, soybeans, or wheat with today’s
commodity prices, but at what point will investing in P
& K pay again? What will happen to your crop when you
continue to apply less plant food than the crop removes?
By the time you leave this workshop, you’ll know how
to sample and read soil tests, how to sample and read plant
tissue tests, how many nutrients your crops actually need,
and which nutrients should
give you the best return on investment on YOUR FARM. Things
have dramatically changed since even last year, so we’ve
got lots of new information for you for 2009.
We know your schedule is busy, but at our agronomy meetings
we guarantee you will learn enough about agronomy to improve
your bottom line in 2009 and for years to come. We often
talk about finding jobs on the farm that pay you $100 an
hour. Without a doubt, attending any of our agronomy workshops
WILL make you an extra $500, if not $5000 on your farm in
the future. Whether you do your business at Hefty Seed
Company or not, please join us! This year’s workshops
are free, and just for attending you will receive a free
agronomy manual. |

If
you’ve never heard Jim Bower speak before, you’re
in for a real treat at 4 of our upcoming workshops, as he’s
one of the leading grain marketing experts in the country.
Jim’s presentations are always entertaining, insightful,
and sure to leave you talking about his advice for weeks
to come. You’ll learn about his expectations for commodity
prices in 2009, how foreign countries are affecting our
markets, and the impact weather, supply, and changing acres
will have down the road. It will be an event you won’t
soon forget.
Brian and Darren will also cover most of the same topics
as our regular Winter Workshops (see above). |

Learn
what’s new in wheat for 2009. Brian and Darren will
talk about things you can do to COST EFFECTIVELY make
your wheat crop better, including how to properly fertilize
wheat, how many nutrients a wheat crop actually removes,
and which input investments probably WON’T pay on
your farm. There will also
be some time spent on micronutrients, fungi, and bacteria
that are beneficial in wheat with Tom Johnson from TJ
Technologies.
Depending on which seminar you attend, Bayer or Dow will
also be there to talk about their newer wheat products,
too.
