EAST LANSING, Mich. — Michigan State University Extension is partnering with Ohio State University to hold three variable rate seeding focus groups during the month of August 2018. We are interested in learning more about how you make seeding rate decisions to fine-tune our research and extension outreach.
Participants will be asked to fill out a survey. Completion of the survey is not required for participation in the focus group, but those taking the survey will be paid $80. Additional topics during the focus group include creating seeding rate zones and ideal seeding rates within each zone, and an expert panel featuring Elizabeth Hawkins from Ohio State University.
Space is limited, so please register today for one of the following locations (see registration details below). Download the flier for more information.
