U.S. Ag Associates Conference and StollerUSA
What a week we had on AgWired last week at AG CONNECT Expo and what a week we’re going to have next week. Besides the Cattle Industry Convention and International Poultry Expo we’re going to have full coverage of the U.S. Ag Associates Conference courtesy of StollerUSA. So that’s the subject of this week’s program.
This morning I spoke with Stoller Group President and CEO, Jerry Stoller. This is the 17th Conference which he says is a very unique collaboration and sharing of research among consultants, university professors, growers and Stoller Group representatives. I had the opportunity for a short visit there last year and next week our Joanna Schroeder will be on location for full coverage.
Some of the leading researchers in the field will participate. Among them are Dr. Ron Heiniger, North Carolina State University; Dr. Michael Orzolek, Penn State University; Dr. Ron Salzman, Director of Bioscience, StollerUSA; and Dr. T X Liu, Texas A&M Weslaco, Texas who will report on a record soybean yield of 166.8 bushels per acre achieved with Stoller technology under controlled conditions in replicated plots. Featured presentations will include trials conducted on soybeans, corn, wheat, blueberries and other crops by Stoller’s fourteen subsidiary companies from nineteen countries.
“The conference is a showcase of results from trials conducted around the world,” says Jerry Stoller, president and CEO of the Stoller Group. “Our primary goal is for attendees to learn from each other and take that information home to customers or to their own farms. It’s the kind of education resource successful growers need to maximize their bottom lines.”
Besides AgWired you can also follow along with information from the Conference on the StollerUSA blog.
