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. (Turn to Page D3l)
