FC Coop’s annual Field Trial Showcase is August 21st
Farmers Cooperative (FC) Company, Iowa’s largest farmer-owned cooperative, will hold its annual Field Trial Showcase event August 21st at its field trial site in Farnhamville.
Todd Claussen, FC’s director of agronomy, says the 175-acre Farnhamville site is critically important in demonstrating and evaluating production inputs.
“It’s broken down into 17 individual demonstration blocks that help us demonstrate and evaluate and basically ‘ground-proof’ the products and the inputs that we make recommendations for to grow crops on your farm,” Claussen says.
“These are hands-on, real-time, farm-applicable crop production inputs that we feel are important. They’re not snake oil, they’re not pie in the sky—they’re things that should be and could be utilized on a regular basis.”
This year’s keynote speaker will be Dr. Tom Hoegemeyer of Hoegemeyer Hybrids. He will discuss how corn has evolved over the last 100 years.
The even is open to the public. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. For more information, go to the FC Coop web site.
