Soil Fertility Considerations for Corn, Soybeans and Wheat
Michigan Ag Connection - 03/31/2023
Soil fertility has always been a hot topic but in the past few years with price volatility, it has been even more important. Don’t let the fact that prices are down from last year make you become complacent. Michigan State University Extension specialist Kurt Steinke will be our specialist for the Field Crops Virtual Breakfast on April 6, 2023, discussing soil fertility management for corn, soybeans and wheat. Following Steinke’s presentation, MSU agriculture climatologist Jeff Andresen will provide the weekly weather update. Andresen’s weather reports have become a staple during our Virtual Breakfast series that we have heard repeatedly that farmers look forward to.
The Michigan State University Extension Field Crops Virtual Breakfast series will run every Thursday from March 30 through Sept. 21, 7 – 8 a.m. EDT live via Zoom. Farmers, agribusiness personnel and others interested in agriculture can interact with MSU Extension specialists and educators to get their questions answered. Michigan pesticide applicators can earn enough restricted use pesticide (RUP) credits during the season to recertify their credential. One RUP credit (1A, 1B, Comm or Private Core) and one continuing education unit (CEU) for Certified Crop Advisors (CCA) are available with each live session.
Each week features a 15-minute presentation on a timely topic from a MSU Extension specialist or educator followed by a 15-minute weather summary and forecast by MSU Extension state climatologist Jeff Andresen. Participants then receive information to apply for credits and can leave or stay for a Q&A session. In addition to the scheduled speakers, other MSU field crops specialists and educators are frequently part of the call and available to answer questions.
Participating is easy and free! You can join the live meeting via Zoom using a computer, tablet, mobile device or regular phone line. If you are new to Zoom, simply download the Zoom app and you will be ready to join online every week to see visuals shared by presenters. A phone-in option is also available for the audio portion only.
Participants must use a one-time signup to receive an email notification with instructions for joining the Virtual Breakfast as well as weekly reminders. Registrants can opt out at any time.
