Save the date for new 'Sorghum Connection' programs

Submitted by Brianna Sprague

Save the date for a new series of sorghum programs, "Sorghum Connection," consisting of field schools and winter meetings located across Kansas.

Sorghum Connection is a collaborative effort between the K-State plant pathology department, K-State Research and Extension, and the Kansas Grain Sorghum Commission. These events aim to bring multidisciplinary, data-driven information to Kansas Grain Sorghum producers to help improve on-farm productivity and profitability. 

Topics will include fertility, breeding, weed management, disease management, marketing, insect management and more.
