One of the most important things you can do every year if you want more yield and more profit is to learn more about crop production. Whether you attend our seminars or others, we encourage you to get out a little bit and learn everything you can. Talk to other high yield farmers. Ask lots of questions. Then try new things at least on a small scale on your farm. Don’t let anything hold you back. There is a lot of potential out there in 2014.
The reason we do these workshops is to say thanks for watching Ag PhD TV and listening to Ag PhD Radio. We feel truly blessed to have done the TV show for almost 16 years now. Both our TV show and the new daily radio show (SiriusXM channel 80 at 2 pm Central) have great ratings and a really good following – WE REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT!! At our workshops, you get the chance to ask questions, visit with other top farmers from around your region, get a great meal and go home with a free agronomy book. Darren and I both want to do everything we can to help you raise better and more profitable crops, which in turn helps rural America.
Here are some of the topics we’ll be covering:
-
Resistance issues – weeds, diseases, insects
-
How to get 70 bushel soybeans quickly

20 steps to boosting your wheat yields

300 bushel corn formula
