PMN Attending the Commodity Classic
Please visit the Plant Management Network
booth (#1206) at the Commodity Classic March
3rd-5th in Tampa, Florida, to experience
webcasts like the ones below firsthand. We
will be demonstrating our webcasts for
growers, consultants, and potential sponsors
and partners. To learn more or to set up a
meeting, please contact

PMN and Sorghum Checkoff Produce Three
Sorghum Webcasts
 The
Plant Management Network and the United
Sorghum Checkoff Program produced three
sorghum management webcasts. They include a
weed management presentation by Curtis
Thompson, Kansas State; a presentation on
No-Till by Rick Kochenower, Oklahoma State;
and a presentation by Scott Staggenborg,
Kansas State, on corn versus sorghum
production in stress-prone environments.

Two New Soybean Webcasts Published:
Keys to Entering the 100-Bushel Club
 This
two-part presentation by Bill Wiebold at the
University of Missouri discusses soybean
yield and how factors during the plant's
life cycle influence yield. It also
describes six keys to increasing soybean
yield. By the end of the presentations,
practitioners will better understand how
soybean plants produce yield and will be
able to use that understanding to develop
cropping systems that enhance profitable
soybean production.
Performance of First & Second Generation
Roundup Ready® Soybean Varieties
The presentation by Shaun Casteel at Purdue
provides appropriate comparisons between RR1
and RR2 varieties. Data from this
presentation focuses on Midwestern states,
but the principles for comparing the
technologies is appropriate for growers,
consultants, and other crop professionals in
all states. The effects of geography,
maturity group, and seed treatments are also
discussed for improved decisions in variety
selection.
Both presentations are part of the
Focus on Soybean resource.
New Focus on Potato Webcast: Early-Season
Irrigation Management of Potato
 Production
of high-yielding, high quality potatoes
requires careful irrigation to avoid crop
water stress throughout the growing season.
This presentation by Howard Neibling at the
University of Idaho outlines pre-season
irrigation planning to evaluate the adequacy
of irrigation system capacity under your
specific climate and soil conditions for
normal and unusually high water-use years.
For systems flagged as marginal or
inadequate, suggestions are given for
pre-season equipment changes and water
management strategies to produce a high
yield and quality potato crop.
