There will be a Soybean/Corn Production and Weed Update meeting held on Tuesday, February 25th at the Epsom Fire Department. This meeting will give you an update on soybean variety performance and we will spend some time discussing what the best management options are for controlling Round Up resistant weeds (ex. pigweed, marestail, etc.). Dr. Jim Dunphy and Dr. Wes Everman will be on hand to give updates and answer questions. We will also spend some time discussing corn production and artesian corn varieties with Dr. Ron Heiniger. Please call 252-257-3640 by February 20th to register for this meeting. There will be a sponsored meal and two hours of pesticide credit in categories M, N, O, D and X. [another opportunity for Ag Pest-Plant credits!]
