SUMMARY:KBS LTAR Field Day 2025\, Hickory Corners\, MI
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the 3rd annual KBS LTAR field day at the MSU Kellogg Biological Station (KBS) Long-Term Agroecosystem Research (LTAR) site in Hickory Corners\, Michigan. The event will highlight early results from the first four years of the experiment\, including findings about yield\, profitability and soil health. The LTAR cropping system experiment compares “business-as-usual” farming (corn/soy rotation with conventional tillage) to an “aspirational” system with a five-crop rotation\, stacked conservation practices and precision technologies. The field day will also feature new innovations and information on cover crops\, nitrification inhibitors\, short corn\, pest management\, precision technology and resources to support the adoption of these practices on-farm. \nRespondNow \nFor more information about this event\, contact Christine Charles: \nEmail: charl122Wmsu.edu \nPhone: 973-255-6097
