With fertilizer prices continuing to be a significant input cost and the availability issues, it is increasingly important for producers to properly manage their agricultural inputs. To address the topic of nutrient management, K-State Research and Extension, has scheduled four regional programs during the month of January 2023. This program has been designed to help producers understand the fertilizer soil relationships to achieve a greater return from an investment in fertilizer especially in this farm environment with the fertilizer issues.
The meetings schedule is the following:
- January 24 – Lincoln – 9:30 a.m. to NOON – St. Patrick Catholic Parish Hall
- January 24 – Hays – 3 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. – Cottonwood Extension District Office
- January 25 – Colby – 9:30 a.m. to NOON – City Limits Convention Center
- January 25 – Norton – 3:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. - 4-H Building at the Norton Co. Fairgrounds
The workshop will be presented by Dr. Lucas Haag, KSU NW Region agronomist and Fred Vocasek, Sr. Lab Servi-Tech agronomist along with local Extension Agents. Topics will include KSU research updates, Soil sampling, Fertilizer placement, Non-traditional P and N sources and Keeping fertility rates along with drought impacts along with a question and answer session. So be sure and bring all your questions with you! 3 CCA credits have been applied for.
There is no cost for the meetings, however, pre-registration is requested by Tuesday, January 18, for all meetings either online, 2023NC/NWFertility Schools, or at your local Extension Office. A minimum of 10 pre-registered producers are needed to hold the meeting. Hope to see you there!
