Iowa State University Extension is hosting an intensive 2-day Corn School titled “Maximizing Output: Grain & Stover” on February 5th and 6th.
The school will be held on the ISU Campus in Ames, IA. Speakers have been invited to specifically address how corn production can be maximized per acre in terms of grain and stover yield. Attendees will learn how they can properly maximize the output from each field (grain and stover) in ways that are economic, sustainable, and practical. The information provided will enable attendees to understand complex issues based on scientific data and recommendations.
This is an entirely new program and is focused on bringing the most current and relevant information forward. This 2-day school is the highest level of programming available and attendees can expect to listen to and discuss topics related to every aspect of maximizing grain yield and biomass. We believe this 2-day school will be extremely beneficial to agronomists and consultants throughout Iowa. Previous schools have sold out. Registration is required to attend.
The meeting agenda is posted online
Registration is available online
Please contact us with any questions you may have concerning the Corn School. We look forward to seeing you on February 5th and 6th!
