Great year for irrigation research, not so much for dryland and fields with limited irrigation capacity.

Corn Irrigation Scheduling study at @StriplingPark was harvested today. Big treatment differences ranging from 30 bu/ac dryland to 250 bu/ac in irrigation treatments. We'll see how all the treatments come out after analysis.

Due to the Covid-19 we have made the decision to cancel the KATS Drones and Planter workshop that was scheduled for March 26, 2020. We are working to reschedule. We hope to move forth with the KATS Scouting Clinic, which is scheduled for May 28, 2020.
