Sorghum Connection field day series to help boost yields

Kansas Grain Sorghum Commission, Kansas State University Department of Plant Pathology and K-State Research and Extension have teamed up for the Sorghum Connection field day series. 

Bavaria Field Day was held Sept. 4, and Dighton Sept. 11. The final Field Day of the series will be Sept. 18 in Russell, Kansas. Attendance is free, but registration is required at https://kstate.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_2gdnuCkMk0upad0.

Each location has approximately 20 hybrids established, a stalk rot trial, and fungicide and cropping system studies. The hope is to have multi-disciplinary, data driven information to help improve on-farm productivity and profitability for Kansas grain sorghum producers.

Lucas Haag, Ph.D., Associate Professor at Kansas State University in the Department of Agronomy; Dr. Rodrigo Onofre and Leticia Viera, M.S., from the Sorghum Connection team at Kansas State University in the Department of Plant Pathology; and additional industry representatives spoke at the Dighton location.

Watch for more information from the Dighton event in future issues of High Plains Journal.
