Webinars Archived, Available For Viewing

 

A recent series of four agronomic webinars is now archived and available for viewing at go.osu.edu/cswconnection.

 

The January, February and March series featured agronomic workshops taught by experts with the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences at The Ohio State University. The workshops were created to offer growers the latest information on corn, soybean and wheat production, said Greg LaBarge, an Ohio State University Extension field specialist and a leader of Ohio State’s Agronomic Crops Team.

 

 

OSU Extension is the college’s outreach arm.

 

The free Corn, Soybean and Wheat Connection webinars were designed to offer farmers easy access to OSU Extension programs, especially in areas where people can’t attend a workshop in person, LaBarge said. The webinars, which are each 90 minutes long, include:

 

* “Using Precision Agriculture to Make Informed Decisions,” presented by John Fulton, an OSU Extension machinery systems specialist, and “Can Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) Be an Agronomic Tool?” presented by John Barker, an OSU Extension educator.

 

* Soybean production, featuring “Agronomic Practices to Maximize Soybean Yield,” presented by Laura Lindsey, OSU Extension specialist in soybean and small grain production, and “Late Season Soybean Pest Issues,” presented by Andy Michel, OSU Extension entomology specialist.

 

* Corn production, featuring “Corn Interaction with Today’s Production Management Systems,” presented by Peter Thomison, OSU Extension corn production specialist, and “What Is the Latest Research on Ear Molds and Mycotoxins?” presented by Pierce Paul, OSU Extension specialist in corn and small grain plant pathology.

 

* Agronomic utilization of manure, featuring “Can Manure Sourced Nutrients Be Used to Meet Crop Need?” presented by LaBarge, OSU Extension field specialist in agronomic systems, and “Alternative Applications Timing to Take Advantage of Nitrogen,” presented by Glen Arnold, OSU Extension field specialist in manure nutrient utilization.

 

All the webinars were recorded this year. For more information on the series, contact LaBarge at 740-223-4040 or labarge.1@osu.edu.
