K-State Crop Talk webinars have been available for farmers since Feb. 10 of this year. The webinars run from noon to 1 p.m. each Tuesday, with the final webinar airing on March 10. Stacy Campbell, crop production agent in the Cottonwood Extension District in Barton and Ellis counties, said it’s easy to participate.
“You can register for them, and you only have to do it once, then you will receive an email with the Zoom and YouTube link,” he said. “If you happen to miss it, you can go back and listen to the recording and view the presenter’s slides as well.”
Topics this year have included understanding flex leases, available soil water, and fungicide applications in corn and sorghum.
“The last Crop Talk webinar will be on March 10, with Anthony Zukoff, Extension entomologist, highlighting insects to watch for in the field this growing season. To register, just do an internet search for the KSU Crop Talk webinar, and the link should pull up.”
The webinars are primarily for growers in Central, North Central, and Northwest areas and counties of Kansas. The information is presented by Extension agents in those counties. CLICK HERE to register for the March 10 webinar.
