Landus Cooperative invites area growers to a series of informational sessions to learn about results from the largest farmer-owned cooperative research plot in the nation.

Landus Cooperative’s agronomy team will highlight four years of data from the cooperative’s 184-acre Research Plot in Farnhamville, Iowa as well as results from nearly 90 corn and soybean seed plots statewide.  The Landus Cooperative Research Plot was home to 19 different projects last year.

“This is a mass of field data results not available by any other farmer-owned agronomy retailer in the nation,” explained the cooperative’s director of agronomy, Todd Claussen. “Our team has done the work to drill down to actionable steps our growers can take to improve their bottom line.”

Sessions will focus on the return on investment (ROI) for a variety of management practices and issues including Sudden Death Syndrome, the impact of seed rate as compared to planting date as well as the benefits of fungicide.

Registration for all events begins at 9:30 a.m. with the meeting beginning at 10:00 a.m. In the KJAN listening area, meetings will be held Tuesday, Jan. 31^st in Atlantic, at the Cass County Community Center, and in Carroll on Feb. 7^th at the Carrollton Inn.
