RESCHEDULED GrowingOn locations

Due to the 2009 harvest stretching into December, GrowingOn seminars previously scheduled for earlier this month have been rescheduled to accommodate farmers’ harvesting demands. Rescheduled seminars include the presentations previously planned at Sioux Falls, Aberdeen, Watertown and Huron.

While harvesting the 2009 crop has been challenging, farmers have big decisions to make about the record production they have been collecting. When the stakes are high, so are the opportunities and for that reason the South Dakota Corn Growers Association, South Dakota Corn Utilization Council and Farm Credit Services of America will re-offer GrowingOn 2010 at the following dates and locations:
