Specialists with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach are teaming up with Iowa State Ag and Biosystems Engineering specialists to bring planter equipment expertise to the Southeast Research and Demonstration Farm near  Crawfordsville on February 8th. The workshop is an opportunity for farmers, agricultural service providers, equipment and precision ag dealers, and others to gain insight into how planters function, optimize settings for individual seed, field, and equipment needs, and improve their understanding of planter wear and calibration. Specialists from the Iowa State Digital Ag group will lead the workshop and focus on small-group, hands-on learning with row units representing a variety of technologies currently available for planters. Meetings will also offer continuing education credits for Certified Crop Advisors. Attendance will be limited to maintain small group sizes and allow for hands-on activities. Registration for each location is $85 and closes seven days ahead of the event. Registration includes lunch, refreshments, reference materials, seed depth tool, closing wheel hold up bracket, and CCA credits. Each workshop will begin with check-in and refreshments at 8:30 a.m. and adjourn at approximately 2:30 p.m. You can find a registration link with this news story at KCIIradio.com.
