It’s officially farm-show season, and while many have already been canceled, postponed or rescheduled this year, our Stine sales reps are eager to help with your 2021 corn and soybean seed decisions. We plan to attend a few shows safely and in accordance with social distancing guidelines, which include:
Sioux Falls Farm Show, Sioux Falls, SD — January 27–29
Iowa Ag Expo, Des Moines, IA — February 2–4
Nebraska Ag Expo, Lincoln, NE — February 23–25
Mid-South Farm & Gin Show, Memphis, TN — February 26–27
KMOT-TV ND Ag Expo, Minor, ND — March 3–5
Hawkeye Farm Show, Cedar Falls, IA — March 2-4
Fort Wayne Farm Show, Ft. Wayne, IN — March 9–11
National Farm Machinery Show, Louisville, KY — March 31–April 3
Great Bend Farm & Ranch Expo, Great Bend, KS — April 7–9
Topeka Farm Show, Topeka, KS — April 13–15
For growers who are unable to attend an in-person farm show this year, you may benefit from the shows that have transitioned to virtual events. A number of university extension groups have also developed online informational opportunities for agronomists and growers to learn about regional agronomic issues and successes, lessons learned from 2020, crop inputs, products and more. For example, the Iowa State University Extension and Outreach Crops Team have transitioned their annual Crop Advantage meetings and Integrated Crop Management (ICM) conference to a virtual experience through CropsTV. This way, farmers seeking agronomic advice and agronomists seeking CCA credits can take their online programs, which are available via livestreaming or on-demand viewing.
If farm shows and online programs aren’t a possibility, your local Stine sales rep is only a call or email away! We can connect you with our 2021 Stine Seed Catalog, walk you through the best options for your acres and provide guidance on crop management best practices.
