Crop Advantage Series will bring latest research

Iowa State University Extension and Outreach specialists will travel to the Radisson Hotel & Conference Center in Coralville for the 2023 Crop Advantage Series to provide farmers, crop consultants and agribusinesses with current research from Iowa State University and updated management information and recommendations based on current and future crop production issues.

In addition, the meeting will also offer continuing educations credits for Certified Crop Advisers (CCA) and pesticide safety recertification for private pesticide applicators. ISU Extension and Outreach will travel to 14 locations across Iowa for the 2023 Crop Advantage Series from Jan. 3-26.

There is no other program in our crop production education year where we are able to bring this many extension specialists together to sites across the state,” said Rebecca Vittetoe, field agronomist with ISU Extension and Outreach. “We’re excited to provide the quality, in-person education farmers have come to expect.

Topics at the Coralville Crop Advantage Series meeting will include: tar spot in corn, crop market outlook for 2023, changes to P and K guidelines, climate outlook, risk and rewards of ag carbon credits, weed management issues, and more.

Early registration is $75, and late registration made less than seven days prior to the meeting or on-site is $100. Registration includes lunch, printed proceedings, private pesticide applicator recertification and CCA credits.

Online registration and additional information is available at www.cropadvantage.org or from your county extension office.
