BROOKINGS, S.D. — SDSU Extension will offer in-person agronomy clinics this winter at four different locations across the state. Kicking off Jan. 28 in Aberdeen, each location will have content that is customized to growers and agribusiness professionals in that area.
“As growers across the state deal with high input prices and volatile markets, our experts have prepared regionally relevant information for this program that can help producers make more-informed decisions for the upcoming growing season,” said Alexander “Sandy” Smart, SDSU Extension Agriculture and Natural Resources Senior Program Leader.
Each road show will begin at 10:00 a.m. local time and will conclude at 2:00 p.m. Lunch will be served at each location, and continuing education credits (CEUs) will be available for Certified Crop Advisers.
