Farm briefs The field is immediately south of the intersection of U.S. Highway 400 and Ness Road (north 32nd Street) in Parsons.
Jim Long, the center’s crop variety development agronomist, is to talk about corn production. This year’s crop came under attack from heavy spring rains that delayed planting. The center studies short-season and longer-maturing corn varieties and compares yields between different locations. Mike Woolverton, KSU extension economist, is to give a grain market forecast in the face of increasing demand for grain to produce fuel and feed. Erick DeWolf, KSU extension plant pathologist, is to review soybean diseases that are in the fields. He is to outline what can be done to reduce soybean yield losses from diseases. Dan Sweeney, the center’s soil and water management agronomist, is to talk about how milo responds to turkey litter applications for fertilizer. Kenneth Kelley, the center’s crops and soils agronomist, is to give an update on wheat production management. He will be joined by Doug Shoup, the Southeast Kansas area crops and soils extension specialist. Details: (620) 421-4826. Nominations being sought All University of Missouri county extension centers are accepting nominations for the 2009 election of extension council members, according to David Burton, area extension civic communication specialist. Most counties hold such elections the third week of January. The only requirement for a candidate is to be at least 18 years old and to live in the county where they seek to be a candidate. Candidates may be nominated by contacting their local extension center, Burton said. Most county councils have an election chairperson who will follow up by contacting nominated candidates to get their permission before placing them on the ballot. Nominations are accepted through October. Each county extension council includes appointed and elected members.
