Please join us on Friday, July 27 for an Ag PhD Field Day on our farm near Baltic, SD. The event will run continuously from 8 am to 7 pm. Here are some of the things we’ll be doing that day:
- We’ll have many large plot displays featuring the latest seed and ag chemical technologies in corn, soybeans, wheat, and a handful of other crops. Brian and Darren will be going through these plots to give you their take on what is and is not working on farms across the country.
- Live tiling demonstration with several tile plows
- Live lift station demonstration with a lift station tank and pump connected to tile lines
- Case IH Ride & Drive complete with tractors and tillage equipment on several acres
- New technology displays and demonstrations from companies like Raven, FarmLogic, Outback, TJ Technologies and many more
- There will also be optional educational sessions including a Tile Design Class with Brian Hefty, Drainage Law featuring one of the top ag drainage lawyers in the region, Estate Planning with a financial expert, Soil Mapping with a software technology company, and Tile Guidance System Updates with Intellislope, AGPS, and Trimble.
- As always, we’ll have entertainment for your kids including inflatables, balloons, games, and even a little farm safety information for kids.
- Lunch, supper, snacks, and drinks will also be served throughout the day.
