Area Extension Soybean Crop Clinics Planned
Iowa State University extension economist Bob Wisner notes new farming methods ease harvest but raise corn quality concerns. He cites field shelling at high moisture and heated air drying increasing kernel damage, urging broader industry research and possible grade changes. Vivan Jennings will lead 13 clinics across seven counties January through March to cover crops, pests, varieties, and marketing.
