What to look for on Thursday – Ag Days 2023

“The first two days of Ag Days 2023 are filled with dynamic speakers and interactive panel discussions and cover a wide variety of subjects. Looking forward to Thursday’s program, it is about agronomy!  If you want Crop Talk, Thursday’s speaker schedule is for you!” commented Kristen Phillips, Manitoba Ag Days General Manager.

The FCC Theatre program starts with a session with just that title on Thursday at 9:00AM. Crop Talk features land management, cereals and pulse and soybean specialists and will discuss what worked well and what didn’t in 2022. If you want More Crop Talk, check back in at 1:45PM for a discussion on weeds, diseases and insects, and how to get the edge in 2023. This is your opportunity to “ask a specialist”, as both Crop Talk panels will be answering audience questions.  In between the Crop Talk sessions, make sure to take in Josh Linville at 11:00AM as he helps us with Understanding the International Fertilizer Landscape.
