“Nebraska Soybean Board looks forward to another road trip across Nebraska to provide helpful information and demonstrations to our producers to utilize on their farms. It’s an excellent way to provide unbiased research that hopefully impacts their bottom line,” says Scott Ritzman, Nebraska Soybean Board Executive Director.

University of Nebraska-Lincoln agronomists, plant disease experts, and insect specialists will be available to address questions. Participants can bring unknown crop problems for complimentary identification.
According to Nebraska Extension Educator, Aaron Nygren, “This is an excellent opportunity to gather and discuss soybean production practices that are important to your operation with other farmers and University of Nebraska specialists and educators.”
