The UW Departments of Agronomy and Soil Science invite you to the Arlington Agricultural Research Station on August 28th to learn the latest in agronomic research being conducted in the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences. Field tours will emphasize soil, crop, and pest management practices that promote soil health, improve farm profitability, and enhance environmental quality. There will be more presentations to see than time to see them! A lunch time presentation will focus on navigating today’s dairy industry.
A special after lunch only session will highlight UW’s inaugural research on industrial hemp. Grain and fiber plots will showcase research on organic weed management, conventional fertility, and variety trials. An update will also be provided on cannabidiol research.
Between tours you can visit with specialists from the UW Soil & Forage Analysis Lab, Nutrient & Pest Management Program, SnapPlus, and Pesticide Applicator Training. Posters highlighting additional research will also be displayed. Certified Crop Advisor continuing education credits are being requested.
