The two-day Field School will be held July 19-20. Don’t
miss this excellent opportunity to sharpen your crop management
skills! There

The
Field School is offered as a hands-on, in-field program
emphasizing crop and pest management diagnostic skill building
in field crops. This program is targeted towards agronomists,
salespeople (seed, ag chemicals, fertilizer), crop consultants,
Extension Educators, agriculture government agency personnel,
farm managers, and summer scouts. Participants will have
the opportunity to enhance their troubleshooting and crop
management skills in specially designed plots that display
actual cropping situations. A key feature of the Field
School is the small learning groups students are placed
in with an instructor to enhance the learning experience.
Each subject is lead by experienced instructors offering
personalized instruction and offering small group activities.
The Field School will offer 12 CEUs for Certified Crop
Advisers (application in process). The specific CEU categories
offered will be 7=PM, 3=SW, and 2=CM. The Crop Diagnostic
section will address scouting and identification of foliar
diseases of soybean. Additionally, if soybean rust appears
to be an imminent threat to Minnesota this summer, pertinent
information will be provided in the Crop Diagnostics section.
