Please join us at a free Ag PhD Winter Workshop!  We have put together our best agronomy book yet (155 pages) just for you, and we’ll talk through many of the toughest crop issues you will face on your farm in 2013.

Each workshop will be a little different, depending on the local area and the questions we receive that day, but here is a list of some of the topics we plan to cover:

  • Weed resistance
  • Rootworm resistance
  • Spider mites, insects, and other crop pests, along with how to stop them
  • Drought-proofing your crop
  • Fertility – nutrient stratification, carbon to sulfur ratio, how to pick the right fertility program to maximize yield & profit, creating your own variable rate fertilizer maps, how to read a soil test, new nutrient removal charts and how Monsanto’s new IFS program will affect your fertility plan
  • Tank cleanout
  • Crop diseases and what you can do about them, especially new ones like soybean vein necrosis
  • Pesticide & biotech safety
  • Suggested corn, soybean, wheat, sunflower, cotton, rice, lentil, field pea, canola, and pasture pest control programs for 2013
  • On-farm trials & field tests throughout the region
  • Return on Investment with various crop inputs
  • Corn & soybean growth and development – in North Dakota only
  • New pesticides & seed traits for 2013 and beyond
  • Estate planning – at Scottsdale only
  • How agriculture is under attack, and what you can do to help
  • iPhone & iPad apps you need

The reason we do these workshops is to say thanks for watching Ag PhD TV.  We feel truly blessed to have done the show for almost 15 years now, and 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.
