The University of Wyoming Extension will offer a seminar on alkaline soil management Feb. 14, through Feb. 15 in Cody. Virtual attendance options are also available.

The event is designed for commercial crop producers, crop consultants, crop advisors and ag service field personnel. The goal is to help Wyoming producers deal with alkaline soils, whether they grow forage crops, row crops, niche commodities or vegetables.

Topics to be discussed include soil sampling and testing, drain tiles, fertilizer interactions in alkaline soils, micronutrients and sulfur, the Albrecht system of soil fertility, and more. Certified Crop Advisors are eligible to earn 14 continuing education units for attending the event.

In-person attendance at the Holiday Inn in Cody, located at 1701 Sheridan Ave, costs $120. Virtual attendance costs $50.
