A series of four K-State Soybean Production Schools will be offered in early February 2015 to provide in-depth training targeted for soybean producers and key stakeholders. The schools will be held at four locations around the state. The schools will be sponsored by Kansas Soybean Commission.
The one-day schools will cover a number of issues facing soybean growers: irrigation management; weed control strategies; crop production practices; nutrient and soil fertility management; and insect and disease management.
