2008 Year in Review

Northern Illinois Post-Harvest Agronomy Update December 9th

Are you wondering what rate of Nitrogen to use for next year’s corn or wheat crop? Did your corn hybrids and soybean varieties stack up with others in the area? How did corn following corn compare with corn following soybeans? What was the soybean aphid pressure this year? Which insect and disease pests might you need to scout for next year? Will soybean rust be a problem next year? If you are asking yourself these or other questions about next year’s crops you should attend the “Northern Illinois Agronomy Update” at Oregon in the Ogle County Farm Bureau Auditorium on the morning of Tuesday, December 9th, 2008.
