Clemson University is offering its annual Corn and Soybean Field Day at two locations in 2025, with the first set for July 22 at the Pee Dee Research and Education Center (REC) near Florence, South Carolina.
The second field day is July 24 at the Edisto REC near Blackville, South Carolina.
The field days will feature scientists discussing agronomics, nutrient management, pest control, insect and nematode sampling and more.
Michael Plumblee, Clemson University Extension corn and soybean specialist who coordinated these events, said field days at these locations represent the state’s corn and soybean growing regions.
“Having two field days provides a relatively centralized location for each major row crop region within the state where producers can come and learn about research we are conducting,” Plumblee said. “This is a great opportunity to connect producers with commodity board-supported research projects, exchange ideas for future work, and foster questions as we progress through the 2025 season and begin making plans for 2026.”
Insect scouting workshops for cotton and soybeans will occur after lunch at both field days.
