Iowa State University Extension and Outreach is hosting the "In-Season Manure Application with Irrigation Field Day" in North Central Iowa. This event aims to educate farmers and stakeholders about sustainable nutrient management practices and innovative techniques for addressing water quality issues in agriculture.
The field day, scheduled for August 2, will provide valuable insights into in-season manure application and irrigation methods. Participants will gain knowledge about optimizing corn plant nutrient requirements and the economic aspects of on-farm manure management. The event will feature demonstrations of the 360 RAIN technology by 360 Yield Center, which allows for manure application during different stages of corn growth.
Farmers, commercial and confinement manure applicators, agency staff, manure planners, consultants, watershed coordinators, and anyone interested in sustainable farming practices are welcome to attend.
