Nebraska Soybean Management Field Days Aug. 15-18 at four locations

“Growing America’s Future” is the theme of the eighth annual Soybean Management Field Days set for August 15-18. These field days provide producers unbiased and research-based information to improve their soybean profitability.

The event consists of four field stops across the state, each with demonstration plots, lunch and time for questions. Producers can gain insight into the challenges they face in producing a quality crop at a profitable price in today's global economy.

Topics

Topics include: Ten Steps to Finding Answers to Your Soybean Production Questions, Management for Improving Crop Water Use, Marketing/Management/Government Programs, and Managing New and Emerging Disease and Insect and Weed Problems.

Value you can take to the bank

Participants from 57 counties representing 157 towns/cities and over 560,000 acres in Nebraska attended Soybean Management Field Days last year. Last year’s participants placed an average value on the knowledge gained and/or anticipated changes in practices at $7.21 per acre. By participating in the Soybean Management Field Days, producers will see their checkoff dollars at work bringing leading technology and ideas to producers.

Producers are encouraged to bring their unknown crop production related questions and plant samples as UNL’s mobile diagnostic lab will be onsite at each location.

Presenters include university specialists, educators and industry consultants.
