WORTHINGTON — Reminder – plan to attend the U of MN Extension Crops and Marketing Day, Tuesday, March 10, at the Knights of Columbus in Fairmont.

Registration will start at 12 noon and the program will run from 12:30 to 4:30 p.m. There is no cost to attend this program thanks to sponsorship from the Martin County Corn and Soybean Growers Association. Pre-registration is not required and all interested are welcome to attend.

Dave Bau, Extension Educator in Ag Business Management, will start the program with “How to Get $4 Corn”. Bruce Potter, Integrated Pest Management Specialist at the Southwest Research and Outreach Center in Lamberton, will discuss “Can Crop Pest Scouting be Cost Effective?”, and Brad Carlson, Extension Educator in Water Resources, will follow with “Nitrogen Management in Today’s Climate”. Liz Stahl, Extension Educator in Crops, will wrap up the day with “Weed Management – Pigweeds, Principles, Prevention, and Planning”.

We hope you will take advantage of this opportunity to hear directly from U of MN Extension Educators and Researchers about the latest research and information on key issues in crop production and marketing for maximum profitability as you prepare for the 2020 growing season.
