Farmers and crop advisers have an opportunity to receive corn production information during a virtual Getting it Right (GIR) meeting that North Dakota State University (线上赌博app) Extension is conducting from 8:30 a.m. to noon (CST) on Tuesday, Jan. 24.

Meeting co-chairs are 线上赌博app Extension cropping systems specialists, Greg Endres, Carrington Research Extension Center (REC), and Ryan Buetow, Dickinson REC. The ND Corn Utilization Council is supporting the event.

“We have been conducting virtual crop production GIR meetings since 2020 and participant evaluations have indicated the information has provided a high level of usefulness,” says Endres. “Corn is a new crop addition this winter to the educational series that in previous years has included soybean, dry bean, canola, flax and sunflower.”

The subjects and presenters are:

• ND Corn Utilization Council overview – Heidie Haugo, Communications director
