Soybean Production Workshops Scheduled For December

The Penn State Extension Crop Management Team has scheduled four Soybean Production Workshops in December.  These day-long workshops teach soybean producers new integrated pest and cultural management practices covering the entire growing season, from planting to harvest.  Support for the workshops is provided in part by the Pennsylvania Soybean Board through the soybean checkoff.
 
Each workshop will feature Penn State researchers, experienced soybean growers, and county Extension personnel presenting information covering all aspects of soybean production from planting to harvest. Topics include information on optimizing variety selection and planting rates, fertility management, weed, insect and disease scouting and harvest management. CCA and pesticide credits are available at each location.
 
The workshops will be held on Tuesday, December 13 at the J. Roy Houston Conservation Center in Greensburg, Westmoreland County; on Thursday, December 15 at the AgChoice Farm Credit Bldg. in Martinsburg, Blair County; on Tuesday, December 20 at Penn State Extension Union County office in Mifflinburg, and on Thursday, December 22 at the Lebanon Valley Ag Center in Lebanon.

Agriculture is one of the many activities that can help reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) from the atmosphere. World’s soils are the second largest carbon sink, second only to oceans. Strong scientific evidence shows that on-farm technology coupled with the widespread adoption of regenerative and climate-smart agriculture practices – such as no-till, cover crop and nutrient and manure management – can reduce GHGs emissions through avoidance and sequestration.
