Ag PhD Field Day takes place July 30th

Jul 30, 2015

Day will include demonstrations and guest speakers

Farmers in and around the Sioux Falls, South Dakota area are invited to the 2015 Ag PhD Field Day being held by Brian and Darren Hefty at their farm in Baltic, South Dakota.

“The goal of the Ag PhD Field Day on our farm is for you to learn as much as you can in one day about new and current technologies so you can increase your profits and yields on your farm,” wrote Brian Hefty. “We will have lots of field plots and demos, educational sessions, corn & soybean yield champs from across the country speaking to you about their strategies, and some hands-on activities that will hopefully make this day a great learning experience for you.”

The interactive event will feature the Hefty brothers’ competition plots go up against yield champions including Randy Dowdy (503 bu/ac of corn), David Hula (454 bu/ac of corn), Steven Albracht (459 bu/ac of corn) and Matt Swanson.

Other demonstrations will include spraying and tillage while technologies like crop protection, irrigation, fertility and seeds will be explored.

Guest speakers from different walks of life will be on hand to share their experiences.

Dr. Robert Fraley, Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer at Monsanto will talk about the current and future states of agriculture.

Actor John Ratzenberger, best known for playing Cliff Calvin on Cheers, and former NFL tight end and Hall of Fame coach Mike Ditka will visit with the farmers as well.
