The Flickner Innovation Farm will host a field day on Aug. 10 to highlight current work by local producers, national and state industry members and Kansas State University researchers to effectively manage weeds through technology and precision ag management strategies.
The event will take place at different venues in the Moundridge area and will feature technology demonstrations and experts speaking on soil health, cover crops, weed suppression and weed management.
The program begins at 8:30 a.m. and ends at 2 p.m. The event is free and lunch will be provided. More information, including registration, is available online from the Kansas Center for Agricultural Resources and the Environment.
“In the last few years, there have been some pretty big advances when it comes to tackling weeds on the farm,” said Ray Flickner, owner and operator of the Flickner Innovation Farm. “We’re looking forward to sharing these technologies so people can see first-hand how these things can perform in the field.”
Participants will be able to observe such systems as a John Deere See and Spray Ultimate and a Redekop Harvest Weed Seed Control.
