2026 Sorghum Connection Field Days: August 26-28

The Sorghum Connection series, launched by the Kansas Grain Sorghum Commission (KGSC) in 2024 in collaboration with K-State Extension and the K-State Department of Plant Pathology, announces a third year of comprehensive field days.

The field days focus on data-driven management decisions aimed at improving producer profitability. At each on-farm location in central and western Kansas, participants will have the opportunity to visit nearly 1,000 research plots showcasing the latest agronomic innovations, management practices, and research findings.

Featured topics will include hybrid selection and performance, cropping systems, fertility management, and more. In addition, participants will hear from Kansas State University specialists and industry experts while gaining hands-on experience with precision agriculture technologies, including drone-based mapping and spraying applications.
