The Area Soil, Water, and Nutrient Management Meetings will be held at eight locations in 2009. These meetings combine the former Soil & Water Management and Fertilizer Dealer Meetings into one 4-hour session (10 am to Noon/1 to 3 pm). Matt Ruark, Dick Wolkowski, Carrie Laboski, Fred Madison, Dennis Frame, Paul Kivlin, and Sue Porter will present current soil & water management and soil fertility information. All speakers may not be present at all meetings.
A $35.00 registration fee (which includes lunch at Noon) will be charged for the meeting. Certified Crop Adviser CEU credits (2 hours in soil and water management and 2 hours in nutrient management) have been requested. Make reservations with the host agent at least 1 week before the meeting you wish to attend.
