To assist farmers prepare for the upcoming growing season, Corn and Soybean Production meetings were held in January. Guest speakers at these local events included Dr. Ron Heiniger (NC State Extension Corn Specialist), Dr. Rachel Vann (NC State Extension Soybean Specialist), and Dr. Luke Gatiboni (NC State Extension Soil Fertility Specialist). Topics discussed in the soybean meeting included rising fertilizer prices, nutrient management to reduce costs, planting date by maturity group selection, and the use of crop protectants. We focused on starter fertilizers, biological products, plant population, and a new planting data support tool during the corn meeting.
