AMES, Iowa – Iowa State University Extension and Outreach will host an evening crop walk from 6 to 8 p.m., Tuesday, June 17 near Thor.
“This crop walk will cover the basics of mid-season scouting,” said Angie Rieck-Hinz, extension field agronomist. “We will discuss current conditions, scout for insects and crop diseases and talk about management practices. We will also review weed control effectiveness.”
Participants are encouraged to bring their own crop samples for evaluation.
