Beck's Practical Farm Research Insight Meeting | Atlanta, IN (2026)

Описание: Join Jason Beck and Travis Burnett at the 2026 Beck's Practical Farm Research (PFR) Insight Meeting in Atlanta, Indiana! Drawing on insights from over 150 PFR studies, this session is packed with data-driven strategies to help you increase ROI, optimize your inputs, and successfully navigate tight farm economies.

In this comprehensive presentation, we break down:
Weather Recap & Yield Surprises: A look back at the unique weather challenges of the season and how timely July rains saved soybean seed counts despite a brutally dry August.

The Ultimate Planter Showdown: John Deere, Case IH, and Fendt go head-to-head testing 5 mph vs. 10 mph planting speeds and seed sizes. Discover why closing wheel selection (like John Deere's Yetter Poly Twisters) was the ultimate deciding factor for emergence and yield in crusted soils.

Herbicide Stress Mitigation: Did you know that herbicide passes can cause a yield drag of up to 4 bushels? Learn how adding PFR-proven stress mitigators, like nano brown sugar, helps plants recover faster.

Fungicide Application Secrets: Why coarse spray droplets actually outyielded fine droplets in corn fungicide trials, and the most profitable sequential application timings for battling Tar Spot.

Green Lightning Nitrogen Testing: We review a new technology claiming to turn atmospheric nitrogen into plant-available N. While it’s not recommended as a synthetic nitrogen replacement yet, see how it's showing ROI as a pH-lowering carrier for foliar sprays.

Where to Sharpen the Pencil: Looking to cut costs? We discuss exactly when it is safe to reduce dry fertilizer rates based on Tri-State recommendations and soil tests. Plus, learn how lowering corn populations on flex-ear hybrids with horizontal roots could increase your profitability by up to $90 per acre.

Combating Red Crown Rot: An update on the rapid spread of Red Crown Rot and how upgraded seed treatment packages (including Saltro and Victrato) are protecting yields.
Watch now to find actionable, low-cost (and no-cost) adjustments you can make to your operation this year!
