I think we need a one day confernce still. I am think of three speakers and give them each an hour to talk about what ever they want. then in the afternoon get split up into three groups so everone can have a small group with each speaker to ask questions. I know having a sponsor would be great but the first time around it may not happen. If i can get 100 guys to show up then it shows people are serious about this. If we can get some press like the local paper and the wetsern producer it may become a very hot conference. I hope once other people see there are others that have they same thoughts then they will speak up to.
We could talk about foliars, biofertilizers, split applications, soil health plant health, plant growth stages to know when to apply products. I think alot of guys are not comfortable reading a soil or tissue or a water test so going over EVERYTHING on each test and what it means may be good. Microbial activity in the soil and what all is in our soil . Get some organic guys to talk not that you would go organic but alot have both organic and partly convetional farming practices. I think we could fill a day every year and maybe two days for many years. Did you ever think is there a 2-3 month investment to put the money you saved on fert into, to maybe make you a few buck until you need it again. Not sure if there is such a thing.
So give me some ideas and we'll try and make this happen. It will take people to show up to start this
