No-Tillage Field Days In addition to making a presentation at the Sept. 8 All in a Day’s Work event at Humboldt, ISU Soybean Extension Agronomist Palle Pedersen will host no-till field days, at Lynn Grove on Sept. 9 and at Oskaloosa on Sept. 10. He will present information about his research and no-tillage soybean production systems in Iowa. The field days are part of a large no-tillage project that was initiated in 2007 and funded by the soybean checkoff. The overall goal is to develop management recommendations for Iowa growers when producing soybeans in no-tillage conditions. The study was initiated at six locations across the state to determine how various soil types influence no-tillage recommendations. The Sept. 9 and 10 field days will be held at the following locations:
		• The Sept. 9 event will be from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Bruce Rusk farm at Lynn Grove. From Highway 71, go west on Highway 10 for approximately 2 miles. Then go north approximately 1 mile on 180 Avenue, which is a gravel road. The field is located across from a grain bin site. • The Sept. 10 field day will be from 6 to 7:30 p,m. at the Keith De Bruin farm, 1925 205 St., Oskaloosa. The directions from Highway 163 are as follows: go east on 220 Street, then north on Independence and turn east on 210 Street, and finally north on Jewel. From Highway 63 go west on 210 Street and north on Jewell. The farm is at the T-intersection of Jewel and 205 Street.
