Colorado State University and UNL are jointly hosting this year’s Crop Clinic. The clinic’s goals are to provide education for farmers and their advisors about: * understanding crop-growth stages when water stress is and is not acceptable; * optimizing limited irrigation water for crops and crop rotation systems; * recognizing weed, insect and disease pest shifts under crop drought stress; * appreciating the benefits of leaving old crop residues for soil moisture and organic matter retention; * and developing a cost-efficient crop and crop system fertilizer plan.
