Sorghum seminars plannedNebraska The Nebraska Grain Sorghum Producers Association (NeGSPA) and Grain Sorghum Board announce their annual Sorghum Cropping Profitability Seminars to be held at two locations Feb. 1 to 2. Registration begins each day at 8:30 a.m. and will be held the following dates and locations: Feb. 1 at the Fairgrounds Exhibition Building, 56885 PWF Road, Fairbury, and Feb. 2 at the Community Center in Red Cloud, Neb. The Sorghum Profitability Seminars, sponsored in part by the Sorghum Checkoff and the University of Nebraska Cooperative Extension Service, focus on new ideas and updates on production and management information to make sorghum production more profitable. The program is designed to provide farmers information they can apply immediately to their operations and gives them a chance to offer input on the sorghum check-off. This year's topics include Current Markets, Defining Risk, Recognizing Opportunities by AgWest Commodities; Managing Sorghum for Success by Kraig Roozeboom, Kansas State University; Nutrient Management by Dave Mengel, Kansas State University and Randy Pryor, UNL Extension Educator; Focus on Pheasants by T.J. Walker, Nebraska Game & Parks Commission; Sorghum Checkoff-Renewed Optimism, Bill Greving, USCP Board Member, Prairie View, Kan; Marketing Sorghum Beyond the Border by Kevin Roepke, U.S. Grains Council; Protecting Nebraska's Agriculture by Duane "Dewey" Lienemann, UNL Cooperative Extension; and Weather Outlook--Will La Niña Bring Dry Conditions by Al Dutcher, UNL State climatologist. The noon meal will feature a sorghum soup and sandwich lunch. Vendors will have exhibits to showcase new products, production/management information, and new technology. Registration at the door is $5; however, members of the Grain Sorghum Producers Association will be admitted free. Producers wanting more information are encouraged to contact their local Cooperative Extension Education Coordinator or the Nebraska Grain Sorghum Board/NeGSPA office at 402-471-4276 or sorghum.board@nebraska.gov.
