The conference will be held Mar. 3 from 9:45 a.m. until 3:15 p.m. at the Embers Restaurant, Carlisle. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. The program will revolve around the theme, “Innovations - The Cutting Edge.” The key speaker will be A 1 Tank, executive vice president of the National Corn Growers Association, and National Com Growers representative in Washington, D.C. “Farm and Government Programs” is the topic of his presentation. Tank presents an honest, up-front presentation on political trends, USDA feed and grain programs, and government influence and regulations on farming. He ad vocates the government and producers are yoked in com production. Tank will describe how and to what degree that relationship exists. In addition, conference par ticipants will have the choice of attending several other presen tations. Dr. Jon Carson, ag engineer from Penn State, will describe some innovative heat reclaimers for com drying. There will be a panel of farmers who will describe some of their successful, in novative practices in com han dling and drying. These farmers designed their own handling and drying systems that are efficient and cost effective. Their operations are designed to their particular situation and could be used by other com producers. Dr. Donald Johnson, senior agronomist for Arcadian Fertilizer Company, will present some in novative ideas on how to fine tune nitrogen fertilization practices for more economical com production. Fertility management is an area where producers can save some money without sacrificing yield. Johnson will explain how. Betty Marose, a pest management specialist with the University of Maryland, will present a session on “Managing Problem Weeds”. Practices such as split application of herbicides, pre and post emergent spray programs economic thresholds, weed scouting procedures, tnazine spraying for weed control, in cluding triazine-resistant weeds and new herbicides will be ad dressed by Marose. The economic value of par ticipating in a Crop Management Association will be discussed by Melvin Brown, crop management coordinator at Penn State. “Dollars and Sense” is the title of Brown’s presentation. Management decisions based on timely information gathered by Crop Management technicians may mean the difference between a profit and a loss in a year of suppressed com prices. Brown will look at areas where input costs can be lowered for com production. Jeffrey Patton, from the Penn sylvania Department of Agriculture’s Bureau of Markets, will explain the possibility of a check-off program for Penn sylvania com producers. Patton will discuss how the funds would be generated and how the money would be used, if the check-off program were put in place. There will be a variety of commercial displays at the con ference. Representatives from many major equipment, service and supply companies will be present to talk with interested individuals. The deadline for obtaining luncheon tickets is Feb. 20, but registration is not necessary for the conference itself. For ticket information contact your County Cooperative Extension office.
