Yield Champions Field Days Announced Dennis Nun, President of Yield Champions, has announced two upcoming field day events scheduled for August. These programs give fertilizer and chemical dealers, agronomists and crop producers the opportunity to see cutting-edge production concepts at work in the field during the growing season and to hear from agronomy experts presenting strategies for increasing yields and profits, regardless of current market trends. Nun says, “We show growers how to lower production costs on a per acre and per bushel basis and that remains the key to profitability for farmers.” Nebraska farmer Todd Hoffman of Juniata, Nebraska has been witnessing his yields continue to improve over the past nine growing seasons. Todd says, “We had the best soybeans last year that we’ve ever had, overall. Our fields averaged 85 to 95 Bu/A. Our plant health has been amazing with the Conklin AgroVantage™ Program.” Yield Champions exclusively markets the Conklin Company’s AgroVantage™ products for crop production.
