NDSU Schedules Getting It Right Soybean Production Meetings

These soybean educational events can help producers with production decisions.

Soybean producers interested in intensive soybean management should plan to attend one of three Getting it Right meetings scheduled for Oakes, Langdon and Jamestown.

At the meetings, North Dakota State University Extension Service faculty and staff will discuss soybean research and 2009 production.

“These are soybean educational events that can help producers with soybean production decisions and answer questions about intensive soybean management,” says Hans Kandel, NDSU Extension agronomist.

The meeting dates are:

  • Wednesday, Jan. 28, from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the Catholic Church meeting room in Oakes
  • Thursday, Jan. 29, from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the Langdon Research Extension Center
  • Friday, Jan. 30, from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the Gladstone Inn in Jamestown

Sam Markell, NDSU Extension pathologist, will provide an update on the disease outlook for 2009 and results from field research conducted in 2008. Kandel will address variety selection, the latest information about iron chlorosis prevention, importance of good nodulation, fertility issues and water management.

Greg Endres or Lionel Olson, NDSU area Extension specialists/cropping systems, will discuss intensive soybean management, no-till and strip-till versus conventional-till planting rates, planting dates, plant populations, seed sizes, different soybean production products on the market and weed management issues. Eugene Elhard (Oakes), Ronald Beneda (Langdon) and Lance Brower (Jamestown), NDSU Extension county agents, will provide crop budgets and local updates.

The programs and lunches are sponsored by the North Dakota Soybean Council, which oversees promotion, research and marketing programs funded by soybean check-off dollars.

The programs are free and open to the public. Preregistration is not necessary.
