For over 25 years, growers have benefited from the latest advancements in soybean production, management and marketing at Soybean Management Field Days. This year marks the second year that the Soybean Testing Ag Performance Solutions (TAPS) competition highlights are included in the field days, including lessons from last year’s contest and progress this season.
The field days provide an opportunity to learn about cutting-edge soybean management, production practices and technologies, while networking with fellow farmers and industry experts.
The three-fold focus of the field days is to provide practical information, foster dialogue and showcase collaborative efforts:
* Learn about best practices and strategies to apply in your fields.
* Engage in productive discussions on issues ranging from local to global.
* Explore Nebraska Soybean Board (NSB) initiatives in research, marketing and education.
“Our goal is to give growers real value they can take home and use,” said Andy Chvatal, NSB executive director. “By highlighting programs like TAPS, we’re helping producers evaluate new ideas and learn directly from the results. In addition to TAPS, the field days also focus on timely topics that matter most to growers, including disease management, market updates and practical production strategies.”
Throughout the four-day event, attendees will be able to participate in two different formats, one occurring in the evening and the other during the day. The evening meetings, held Aug. 11-13, will feature presentations on locally relevant topics and engage participants in interactive discussions. To conclude the week on Aug. 14, a field day starting mid-morning will highlight the Soybean TAPS contest with interactive discussions and a plot tour.
Soybean Management Field Days is free to attend thanks to support from NSB. To help with a meal count, please pre-register two days in advance of each field day at go.unl.edu/soydays or by calling 402-624-8030.
