The August 2008 Crop Health Workshop was a great success with record attendance from across the Plains and western CornBelt. Matt Hagny revealed the many secondary and micronutrient deficiencies lurking in the region's crops, and discussed the most effective ways of addressing them. Hagny particularly emphasized how visually subtle some of them were, unless you had a side-by-side comparison. Ray Ward provided additional insights on nutrient behavior in no-till soils, as well as supplying his immense practical experience on fertilizers, crop growth, and laboratory testing. The interactive setting allowed attendees to get their most pressing crop nutrition questions resolved, with excellent crowd participation going 'overtime' at the end.

For those who missed out on the session, you can obtain the 16-page color handout for the 192-slide presentation for $100 (half the admission price), by mailing a check to Pinnacle Crop Tech Inc, PO Box 952, Salina, KS 67402. The handout contains many photos of crop deficiency symptoms, as well as fertilizer sources, rates, and timing to alleviate those shortages.
