Sutherland, Iowa — Producers can gain valuable fertility management knowledge and learn more about soil testing at a conference coming up at the Iowa State University Extension Northwest Research Farm near Sutherland.
Extension field agronomist Joel De Jong tells us the cost of managing soil fertility in Iowa continues to change with increased fertilizer input costs and a rising demand for nutrients from higher-yielding crops.
De Jong tells us that it will be held this Thursday from 9 a.m. to noon.
He tells us you can register by calling the Plymouth County Extension Office at 712-546-7835. You can also call that number if you have any questions. He says a few seats are left, but he emphasizes that preregistration is needed this time due to the number of materials needed, and they’d like you to register by Wednesday.
The Northwest Research Farm is located about 10 miles north of Cherokee on Highway 59. The address is 6320 500th Street, Sutherland, Iowa.
