Solution Day 2009 will provide practical solutions to the changing agricultural landscape. The annual educational event will be conducted Aug. 28 at the Syngenta Learning Center site, three miles north of York U.S. Highway 81.

Farm operators and professionals supporting corn and soybean production will gain realistic solutions for meeting the challenges of higher crop yields while keeping production costs economical.
