Free Webinars Bring Bean Yield Tactics into Focus
Here's an alternative diversion if soil temperatures are tempting you to plant, but the calendar indicates hold. This week, the Science for Success partnership begins hosting a three-part virtual webinar series called Savvy Full Season Soybean Management to discuss strategies farmers can utilize to optimize soybean yield.
The partnership brings together Extension specialists from land-grant institutions across the country. Collaborative efforts meld state-gleaned knowledge and research results together to devise best management practices (BMPs).
The schedule includes:
