D3o—Lancaster Fanning, Saturday, February 21,1981 on attending field Tips day plot tours LITITZ - farmer should try to attend one or more field day plot tours which are presented for your benefit by experiment stations, commercial seed companies, trade associations and others. They are planned to demonstrate facts and information that will make you a better in formed, more com petent crop manager. You have to justify the time you spend, so select events according to what they promise to offer. It can be a rewarding time if you are willing to work at it. If you have picked one Every and are on your way, there are some specific things you’ll want to check out. How does the new hybrid the seed dealer is talking about look in plots? Did some take the heat better than others? How did minimum-till narrow row crops stand the windstorm? Is disease or drought any worse m the high population plantings’ You’ll be looking for new pointers, too. Check out fertilizer, weed control, insect control, new equipment and crop management systems Likely, you’ll also be looking for confirmation that you are doing many things about right You’ll be checking the plots to support your own choice of hybrids, planting systems, pest control and so forth. Given a well-planned and well-presented field day (plus decent weather), here are some things you can do to enhance the value of the tune and effort you spend to attend. It’s like having the planter ready before you go to the field you’ll waste a lot of time if you aren’t ready. Go early. There may be exhibits or displays that will be easier to see ahead of the crowd. You’ll have a chance to talk to some of the speakers beforehand if you have some specific questions. There may be an op portunity to register to receive later in formation. If maps or condensed tour presentations are handed out, you’ll have time to look through the material. If there is a wagon tram, try to sit near the middle you’ll see more and probably hear better. If it’s a walking tour, situate yourself near the speaker at each stop. Take notes and pic tures. Don’t try to take down everything that’s said, but get the essentials Ask for clarification or more detail. Most speakers welcome questions because that’s the way they know whether they’re getting ideas across. If you carry a camera, snap pictures, charts, Think, think, think, graphs, field signs and Keep asking yourself plot contrasts that will “What’s the main point help you recall a point this speaker is that was made.
