A Penney For Your Thoughts

What is the practical application of the research being done at the University of Wisconsin Madison? How do we apply the learnings of Dr. Conley and his team to our soybean fields?   Join us as we discuss the thoughts around practice changes, planting dates, fertility timing, seed treatment, fungicide and more!   

Shawn Conley is back by popular demand!  Shawn and his team use accurate grower data and predictive analytics to help producers understand the outcomes of practice changes in their soybean production. Increase yield and ROI using precise information from other growers!
