2018 Wisconsin Agronomy Update Meetings

Attached is the the schedule for the 2018 Agronomy Update meeting series to be held January 3-9, 2018. This annual meeting series is designed to bring current information to consultants, farmer / seed dealers, seed company and industry representatives, and our crop contact agents. We will present the latest information on hybrid / variety performance, an analysis and discussion of last year’s production season, and updated recommendations for field crop production.

We have a limited mailing list of contacts from previous meetings, but really depend on local agents for the most effective publicity. Please inform seed dealers, co-op managers and top farmers from your county or area, and encourage them to attend. Please do not expect the host agent to promote this event in your county.

The information packet will contain 2017 variety trial results, plus numerous new seed related reference materials. Extra information packets are available for $21.00 each. All meetings begin with a breakfast or lunch, followed by the formal meeting. Be sure the host agent (see schedule) receives your registration no later than one week before the meeting you plan to attend. A “walk-in” fee will be charged to those who have not preregistered. Certified Crop Advisor CEU credits (3.0 hours) in crop production were requested for each session.

If you have question or suggestions concerning these meetings, please contact us. Thank you in advance for your efforts to publicize and attend the 2018 Agronomy Update meetings.
