Com Conference
The Pennsylvania Master Com
Growers invites all com producers
and agri-business personnel to the
second annual Pennsylvania Com
Conference. 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.
