Iowa State University (ISU) Extension and Outreach will be hosting several ag coffees for producers throughout the region early next month to discuss the impacts of the ongoing drought and Aug. 10 derecho. Each meeting will be split into two segments. The first features ISU Field Agronomist, Mike Witt, who will provide insight on harvesting downed corn, managing harvest expectations, addressing storage issues and much more. Farm Management Specialist, Tim Christensen, will lead the second half with conversations on the financial impact of the events, fall strategies, crop insurance and other topics. The Audubon, Calhoun, Carroll, Greene, Guthrie and Sac County ISU meetings begin at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 9. In-person seating is limited due to COVID-19 restrictions.
