Welcome to the coverage of the 2011 Small Grain Solutions program
Eight years after the
beginning of Small Grain
Solutions program, there
are both old and new issues
on the minds of producers.
Technology continues to
improve at a rapid rate, but
producers are still dealing
with Mother Nature and
the hand she deals. The
SGS tour this year went
to Wichita, Kan., Clinton,
Okla., and Amarillo, Texas.
The producers in Texas
were dealing with severe
drought conditions, while
things further north looked
better.
The program during the
event was excellent and for
those of you that weren’t
in attendance, we have
written a special section
covering the event. High
Plains Journal and John
Deere are pleased to be able
to offer this information to
you.
