Description:
The Irrigation and Energy Conservation Field Day at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's South Central Field Laboratory - Clay Center will help producers save water and money.

The program, sponsored by the Nebraska Corn Board and the Nebraska Corn Growers Association in partnership with UNL Extension, starts with 8:30 a.m. registration with training from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Limited registrations will be accepted.

Participants will learn best management practices for corn production, achieve water conservation in irrigated and dryland corn production, learn how to reduce energy use production costs, find how to maintain and, in some cases, increase yield and profitability and learn to better manage surface and groundwater irrigation.

The complementary registration fee is provided in part through funding by the Nebraska Corn Board and the Nebraska Corn Growers Association. Certified Crop Advisor credits are available. For more information or to register, call (800) 529-8030 or e-mail kglewen1@unl.edu.

UNL Extension is in the university's Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources.
