Crop Fair Coming To Coon Rapids March 14

Giving area farmers more access to the information they need, but might not be able to get elsewhere was the reason the Iowa Corn Growers Association has teamed up with the Iowa Corn Promotion Board to host a series of crop fairs. According to chair of the Iowa Corn Grassroots Network Membership and Checkoff Committee, Larry Buss, the crop fairs have been customized to include the topics that fit each region of the state. They will also offer producers opportunities for farmer-to-farmer learning and a chance to interact with experts on topics from legislative polices and water quality to market development and risk management. One of the fairs will be held at the Coon Rapids American Legion from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Tuesday, March 14. Registration will open at 8:30 a.m. Presentations will cover preventing Palmer Amaranth, the weather outlook for 2017, rebalancing supply and demand and an environmental update. Reservations are required by Monday, March 13, and details about how to RSVP can be found with this story on our website.
