The DTN Fall Production Seminar Series is the definitive source of information about key production issues and new technology. Complimentary online broadcasts from the DTN Online Seminar Series deliver discussion on timely topics to help you make more informed decisions for your operation. Join us for these upcoming events:
| FIELD TILING | |
Interest in tiling and field drainage has continued to grow as farmers find real economic advantages due to earlier planting, better crop growth and higher yields when fields are adequately drained. For some farmers in some regions, tiling is a new idea fostered by new equipment and better understanding of the yield advantages. In other areas, farmers are adding new tile to existing systems and seeing the benefits of more uniforn drainage. In this webinar, a panel of drainage experts and farmers will discuss new techniques, environmental considerations, and timing of installing drainage systems. |

| STRIP TILLAGE—HOW TO START A PROGRAM | |
As fertilizer prices continue to rise, farmers are more interested than ever in ways to increase nutrient efficiency. Strip tillage, or applying nutrients in small bands of soil and then planting directly in those bands is catching on as the tools improve and as new technologies such as auto-steer tractor systems make guidance easier. This webinar will examine some of the newest tools and discuss how farmers can begin this new practice. |

| SIZING YOUR GPS INVESTMENT / WHICH TOOLS FIT THE FARM | |
As more tools associated with GPS technologies come available, farmers are beginning to question which ones make the most sense in their operation. For farmers just getting into the GPS world, the question is how far to get into the technology. Is yield mapping enough? Or should the farmer jump right in to high-accuracy RTK signaling and autosteer equipment systems? This webinar will include a panel of farmers who have walked through those decisions and can add insight in to what they’re doing, how well it works, and whether it adds to their efficiency and profitability. |

| SEED QUALITY EXPECTATIONS | |
Seed quality was an issue, particularly in soybeans, during the 2008 planting season. Poor general growing conditions this season raise the question of what the 2009 seed crop will look like, and what seeds will be in greatest demand. The Webinar will include an update from several seed companies, discussing the general seed crop and what farmers need to be thinking about as they make 2009 seed purchases. |
