Listen to the episode

This summer, many growers have experienced weather challenges due to below normal precipitation and warmer than average air temperatures. Our University of Minnesota Extension staff discuss the proper use of diagnostic tools such as crop tissue testing and nitrogen models to provide a checkup to crop growth and nutrient needs in Minnesota given the variable weather and soil moisture conditions.

What is Field Notes?

The Field Notes program is designed for farmers and agricultural professionals as a weekly webinar program addressing all your crop-related questions in real-time in an interactive, discussion-based format.
