Oklahoma State University offers Winter Crops School Dec. 11-12
Registration for the 2018 Oklahoma State University Winter Crops School is now open. The WCS will be held Dec. 11 and 12 at the OSU Student Union, second floor ballroom.
The agenda is finalized and you can expect to hear from some the best scientist and extension specialists in the region. Topics will include: The Pesticide Complaint Process, Bt Resistance, Cotton and Soybean Diseases, Teff production, dealing with Purric Acid in forages, soybean population research, review from Romullo Lollato of what the Kansas wheat yield contest winners did, soil health testing and what happens when we delay nitrogen application in wheat.
The WCS is a great opportunity for CCAs, agronomists and producers to learn about the latest research and management strategies for crop and forage production in the southern Great Plains. For CCAs there will be approximately four credits offered in Integrated Pest Management, four credits in Crop Management, two credits in Nutrient Management, and two credits in Soil and Water Conservation. For certified applicators, there will be approximately four ODAFF CEUs offered.
In conjunction with the WCS, a CCA Exam prep course will be offered on the afternoon of Dec. 12.
Early-bird registration is $125 per person. After Dec. 4, the cost goes up to $200. You can register online at secure.touchnet.com/C20271_ustores/web/store_cat.jsp?STOREID=15&CATID=59.
