- Cover crops - review trials and results with small-grain and row crops

- Measuring soil quality - review field tools and tests

- Late-season wheat management - review strategies for disease control and plant nutrition

- POST soybean herbicides - examine the balance between crop injury and weed control

Preregistration is required. A total of 50 participants will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Participants will receive reference materials, refreshments and a noon meal. Certified crop advisers participating in the event will receive 5 continuing education units in crop, pest, and soil and water management.
