Each year brings new crop production challenges. As an agricultural professional, keeping up with these new issues is a top priority. At the 2008 Research Update for Ag Professionals, you will find research-based strategies to deal with today’s changing pests, diseases, varieties, and nutrient and environmental recommendations. Presentations and discussions will allow you to visit with experienced university researchers and offer you the opportunity to visit with colleagues to discuss topics on interest to you in your region.
The 2008 Research Update for Ag Professionals already were held in Waseca, Kasson, Luverne, and Lamberton, but the coming week Willmar, Morris, and Crookston will host the final three meetings. The agenda for each location is detailed below.
