Crop Diagnostic School At Scott

This year's Crop Diagnostic School is being held at the Scott Research Farm.
 
The event is geared to agronomists, producers, industry and retail reps to help improve their crop scouting skills and agronomic knowledge.
 
This year’s event focuses in on Herbicide Residue Symptomology, Fungicide Management, Insect Identification, Clubroot Management, and Intercropping.
 
The Herbicide Residue station talks about how some herbicides can remain in the soil for extended periods of time; which means they also have the potential to injure sensitive crops that are seeded in the following seasons. 
 
The Fungicide Management station looks at fungicide timing and disease cycles. 
 
The insect identification station focuses on insects of concern for 2019 as well as new pests. 
 
Participants will also learn more about clubroot prevention and management.

Video: Secure Pork Supply Plan | Prepare to Protect Your Herd | U.S. Pork Producers

Join Jill Brokaw, a third-generation pig farmer, as she dives into the vital role of the Secure Pork Supply (SPS) Plan in preparing the U.S. pork industry for potential foreign animal disease outbreaks. This video is an essential watch for pork producers who are looking to safeguard their operations against the threats of diseases like foot and mouth disease, classical swine fever, and African swine fever. Why Should Pork Producers Care? An outbreak of foreign animal diseases in the U.S. could lead to severe restrictions and potentially result in industry-wide financial losses estimated between $15 to $100 billion. The SPS Plan is a collective effort to prevent such catastrophic outcomes by enhancing biosecurity, ensuring animal traceability, and promoting effective disease monitoring.
