2021 Kansas Corn
Management Schools
The 2021 Winter Corn Management schools typically held in-person in January are moving to a virtual format. Kansas Corn is working with K-State Research and Extension to put together a webpage to house all of the presentations to be viewed virtually on-demand. In addition, there will be a series of three webinars in January and February that will each include two presentations with time for live questions. There will be registration pages set up for these events. Participants will have to register in order to get the Zoom link sent to their email.
Stay tuned to Cottonwood Extension at www.cottonwood.ksu.edu and the KSU Agronomy eUpdates https://webapp.agron.ksu.edu/agr_social/index_new_prep.php for more information on the 2021 Corn Schools, including registration and program details.
