The West Central Research, Extension, and Education Center will host its 20th annual Water, Crops, and Soil Health Field Day on September 5, starting at 8:30 a.m.
This event is free for all area producers, who are encouraged to attend to learn more about essential agricultural practices. Attendees will also enjoy a complimentary lunch.
The field day begins with registration, followed by a series of demonstrations, field tours, and discussions. One highlight is the Natural Resources Conservation Service rainfall simulator, which helps producers understand water impact on soil. Local experts will cover topics such as weed control, water management, pesticide applications, soil health, and carbon markets.
Participants can earn continuing education units from the Certified Crop Advisor Program by attending the sessions.
Vendors will be present throughout the day to provide information and resources to help improve participants' farming operations.
