Corn is still a traditional crops several farmers in E3 still grow to sale and be used as feed on the farm. With the cost of production per acre increasing each year higher yields are needed to compensate for the expense. Corn growers need to be educated on new technology and production strategies that are research based and shows successful results. To meet the educational need agents in E3 invited Dr. Chad Lee to come and do an area meeting and present research based findings on seed herbicide and new ways to fertilize and side dress corn for higher yields. Four out of Five counties have growers represented to make up the 29 present. This years crop is still growing but through farm visits and verbal surveys farmers report that corn fields have better color and higher plant population per acre. Even after following a spring and early summer drought.
