The annual Perry-Spencer Crop Day program will be held Thursday, March 17 at 6 p.m. CDT. Like last year’s program, participants will have the option to take part virtually or on-site at either the Perry County 4-H Fairgrounds in Tell City or the Spencer County Youth & Community Center in Chrisney. Crop Day is a joint effort between Purdue Extension and Soil & Water Conservation Districts in Perry and Spencer counties.
The featured speakers this year include Dan Quinn, Purdue Extension Corn Specialist speaking on “Lessons Learned from the 2021 Growing Season” and Shaun Casteel, Purdue Extension Soybean Specialist, speaking on “2022 Soybean Management Tips”. In addition, a presentation on regulations and best practices for using mini-bulks will be included. Private and commercial (categories 1, 14 and RT) applicator program credit will be available for both virtual and in-person participants. No meal will be included in this year’s program.
There is no registration fee to participate, however a $10 fee will apply to those needing commercial applicator (CCH) credit. The PARP fee will be waived for all private applicators attending as the result of a sponsorship by the Indiana Soybean Alliance/Indiana Corn Marketing Council. Pre-registration is required. To register, please call 812-362-8066 or register online at tinyurl.com/cropday2022. Pre-registration is due by March 14.
