Top-tier farmers will want to attend the Crop Advantage meeting at the Clarion Highlander Hotel Conference Center in Iowa City on January 28, 2015, according to Virgil Schmitt, Iowa State University Extension Field Agronomist.  "In addition, crop consultants and crop input suppliers are more than welcome to attend," Schmitt added.  "The meeting consists of many topics, including crop management, pests, soil fertility, and farm management, from which attendees can choose to make their own learning experience.  This year Iowa Private Pesticide Applicators can receive Continuing Instruction Course credits at no additional charge and Certified Crop Advisors can receive Continuing Education Units at no additional charge," he continued.
