Maintaining profitability in turbulent economic times is challenging but often an economic reality on the farm.
This year’s Farm Journal Corn and Soybean College will focus on agronomic factors and management practices that can help farmers keep their business on track. Make plans to join Ken Ferrie and team for the event, which is slated for July 23 and 24 near Heyworth, Ill.
“One of our goals for the event is to help farmers strategize and identify some specific ways to thrive even in these rough economic waters we’re currently experiencing,” says Ken Ferrie, Farm Journal Field Agronomist.
The full agenda is listed below. In addition, the in-field and classroom sessions will address:
- Proven practices that increase yield
- Ways to gain nutrient efficiency
- Government/private programs
- Premium/specialty crops
The two-day event brings together presenters, farmers, and industry personnel that are passionate about raising the bar in farming, Ferrie says. “This is an unsponsored event making more time for our agronomists to spend with attendees, getting their questions answered, and more time to spend in the field,” he adds.
Day 1 of the Farm Journal Corn and Soybean College starts at 8 a.m., Tuesday, July 23, and runs through happy hour/dinner.
Day 2 starts at 6:30 a.m. on Wednesday, July 24, and sessions will go up to lunch.
“We will finish the second day with a Q & A following lunch. Our agronomists will be available to answer questions until your questions run out, so be sure to come with your list,” Ferrie says.
Price: $625 (includes access to one-day virtual event in January 2025). People can register for just the virtual event for $200, but it is included at no additional cost in the ticket package for those attending the in-person event.
