The ag day event is consistently ranked by the farmers who attend as one of the best educational ag events.
“The one-day, research-based clinic starts at the big picture level and then drills into the issues that are central to making corn production decisions with the goal of a more profitable corn crop,” said Steve Melvin, Nebraska Extension cropping systems educator and event coordinator. “The day is free of charge to the participants thanks to our sponsors and exhibitors. Our noon meal sponsor is Grosshans in Aurora.”
