Crop Clinic Field Day Prepares Agriculture Producers for Production

Wed, 23 Feb 2022 11:00:53 CST

Crop Clinic Field Day Prepares Agriculture Producers for Production The 23rd Annual Crop Production Clinic Field Day on March 1 will help prepare agricultural producers in western Oklahoma for crop production in a season of drought.

"This year, our major focus is the weather and chemical prices. We are facing a drought in western Oklahoma, and herbicide and pesticide prices are up," said Jason Warren, Oklahoma State University Extension specialist for soil and water conservation. "We talk about weather outlook so producers can be prepared. It is important to at least have an idea of what the weather is going to do, so you can change your management style to adapt."

Continuing education units will be offered as part of this event. Attendees must register for the catered meal by 4 p.m., Feb. 28. For more information, contact Jenni Foreman at 580-349-5440 or jenni.foreman@okstate.edu.

The event will be held 8:30 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. March 1 at the Oklahoma Panhandle Research and Extension Center in Goodwell and will include the following topics.

• Weather outlook and crop management based on the weather outlook
Gary McManus from the Oklahoma Climatological Survey (Mesonet) will provide agricultural producers with a weather outlook during the event, and OSU scientists will discuss how producers can manage their crops in varying weather conditions.

• Nutrient management planning
A representative of the U.S. Department of Agriculture-Natural Resources Conservation Service will talk about nutrient management planning and available programs.

• Input costs for herbicides and pesticides
OSU scientists will provide an outlook on increased herbicide and pesticide prices and strategies on how to optimize the efficiency of products in chemical management.

• Testing Ag Performance Solutions (TAPS) program research and award winners
OSU scientists will share how nitrogen and water management affect profitability and efficiency factors. TAPS is an interactive program that allows producers to test research-based, improved technologies and strategies at OSU Ag Research sites in the Oklahoma Panhandle. It is a competitive program in which agricultural producers and OSU scientists are honored for their achievements.
