| Justification
In 2007, Minnesota ranked fifth in the nation for corn production, harvesting over 8.2 million acres. Maximizing the profitability of corn production and utilzing environmentally-sound management practices are priorities with all corn producers in the state. Although there is a vast amount of information on corn production, the University of Minnesota Extension Service stands out as a timely source of research-based, non-biased information and recommendations.
Audience
- Corn producers
- Agricultural professionals
Objective
To increase profitability of corn production in the state of Minnesota while minimizing negative environmental impacts.
