Agronomy Tip: Take Advantage of Technology
Dr. Megan Taylor, Extension Educator at University of Nebraska-Lincoln, recommends a variety of resources to help advance your knowledge and management of your operation:
Excel is a great way to track management decisions and record notes throughout the season.
With the increase of online trainings, there is greater access to various speakers, different experts, and new technologies. Research sessions online that you can attend this Winter.
Look into smartphone apps – new ones and existing ones that are receiving updates. Contact your agronomists, seed salesman, and local extension agronomist for recommendations in your region.
