Agronomy Field Tour at Southern Research and Outreach Center

The annual Agronomy Field Tour at the Southern Research and Outreach Center at Waseca will be next Tuesday June 20, 2017. The tour is always related to corn and soybean production with emphasis on specific issues that corn and soybean producers have faced that particular year. They sure will have a lot to talk about this year! Normally all the sessions are in the field (weather permitting) but this year the first session will be in the conference center. Extension educator David Bau will talk about the economic outlook for corn and soybean producers. Then the tour will ride the wagons to the plots.
