Learn more. Grow more. Earn more.
That’s what producers can do by attending
Golden Harvest Seeds’
Agronomy Up Front® University. The University will be in session
in three locations in 2008:
Jan. 28 - Peoria, Ill.,
Par-A-Dice Hotel & Casino
Jan. 29 - Dubuque, Iowa, Grand River Center
Feb. 5 - Kansas City, Mo., Harrah's Casino & Hotel
Growers will have the opportunity
to explore new concepts geared towards increasing profit
potential from research conducted by Golden Harvest’s unique
Agronomy Up Front research program.
Research agronomists will be on-hand to talk about the Agronomy
Up Front practical research results and how they can help
producers deliver higher yields, improve their operations and
make better business decisions.
Sessions will feature the following topics for growers to choose
from, including: Agrisure™ RW and other new corn technology
traits, managing continuous corn, planting date management and
managing cutworm.
“Golden Harvest’s Agronomy Up Front is the oldest and most
respected agronomic research program in the country,” said Bruce
Battles, agronomy marketing manager for Syngenta. “The research
we do has helped growers reach and exceed their yield potentials
for more than 20 years. An event like this allows us to reach
more growers, helping America’s farmers even more.”
Last January, the inaugural Agronomy Up Front University drew
almost 350 growers to Council Bluffs, Iowa. Of those attending,
98 percent said they would attend another University session and
recommend it to another producer.
The event is certified by the American Society of Agronomy's
Certified Crop Adviser Program (CCA), the largest certification
program in agriculture throughout the U.S. and Canada. Seed
advisers or consultants can earn hours towards their
certification by attending the conference.
