The 2024 Crop Advantage meeting will give producers a solid foundation of current research-based crop production information to help make smart, informed decisions for their farming operation.
The meeting is an opportunity for farmers and crop advisers to hear current research and crop production information. Extension specialists from campus and field specialists from Iowa State University will travel to Cedar Falls on January 16, providing updated management options and recommendations on crop production issues facing Iowa growers.
Meetings include continuing education credits for Certified Crop Advisers (CCA). Private pesticide applicator continuing education will be available and will require a separate fee payable at the location.
“There is no other program in our crop production education year where we are able to bring this many extension specialists together to sites across the state. We’re excited to provide quality, in-person education farmers and ag retailers have come to expect,” said Josh Michel, field agronomist with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach.
The Cedar Falls location will be held at the Bien Venu Event Center at the Holiday Inn and Suites on January 16, 2024. Registration check-in opens at 8:15 AM and the program runs 9:00 AM to 4:45 PM. Program highlights for the Cedar Falls location include Entomology speed topics; Managing persistent herbicides (carryover) and weeds (waterhemp), and the impacts of cereal rye on nitrogen cycling and crop production.
