Producers, crop consultants and others involved in winter wheat or field pea production have an opportunity to sharpen their knowledge and skills at the 2016 High Plains Advanced Cropping School on June 21, sponsored by University of Nebraska-Lincoln Panhandle Research and Extension Center. Registration is open with a May 23 deadline.
UNL specialists and educators will lead a full day of in-depth, field-oriented, hands-on sessions that place the focus on production problems in the western Great Plains and production areas of the Rocky Mountains. A special emphasis will be placed on stress-related problems that can cause yield reductions.
Both days of the school will be held at the UNL Panhandle Research and Extension Center at Scottsbluff. On-line registration is available at http://go.unl.edu/croppingschool. More information is available at the Panhandle Center’s website, panhandle.unl.edu, including a downloadable informational flier.
