AM Session
Soybean Seeding Rates & Biologicals
Drew Clemmensen, ISA research agronomist and Anthony Martin, ISA data analyst
Dig into the data from ISA seeding rate, long term cover crop and biological trials. Discover how seeding populations performed in different management systems to optimize seeding rates and cost savings. Attendees will take a deeper dive into the biological trial data and how it could impact local farmers.
Southwest Iowa Conservation
Joseph Wuebker, ISA conservation agronomist
Where do I start with conservation practices? Hear from local agronomists on the benefits, timeline planning and cost share opportunities for conservation practices specific to your area. Also discuss planting and scouting tips with fellow Southwest Iowa farmers and agronomists.
Enhancing Nitrogen Recommendations using Data
Mitch Baum, Iowa State University postdoctoral researcher
The Iowa Nitrogen Initiative (INI) is a public-private partnership that works directly with Iowa farmers to conduct nitrogen rate research on their farm fields. In 2023, 270 trials were conducted, a 400% increase from the pilot year in 2022. In this presentation, INI researchers and staff will give a short overview of the project and present yield response data from the 2023 trials, ending with an update on decision support tool development and trials of interest for 2024.
