To help address key management issues of Southwestern Minnesota producers, Barriers to Bushels will be held at two locations in early March. This is a program developed by the University of Minnesota Extension aimed at current issues and research in crop production with the intent to ultimately help increase a producer’s bottom line. Topics include residue management, corn on corn management, fungicide and soil amendment research, and soybean yield and pest management. Past participants expressed that they have benefited from the useful, research based, and timely information the University brings to these meetings. This program is aimed to provide crop management benefits for producers and Ag professionals alike.

Registration is $45 and a free lunch and door prizes will be provided by local sponsors at each location.
