The
Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service offices of Hale and Swisher counties
have a series of Scout
Training Days continuing on MONDAY, July 13th, 2020.
This
Monday’s Training will target:
- Post Tassel Corn Scouting
- Post Boot Sorghum Scouting
- Post Bloom Cotton Scouting
- Plant Mapping, Irrigation Scheduling, & PGR Needs
Meetup at 8:00 a.m. at the Hale County AgriLife Office at
205 Broadway, Plainview, and be prepared to
drive to the fields. Spots will be
limited to five per date, so RSVP promptly by phone to 806-291-5267 or email
to blayne.reed@ag.tamu.edu.
The
trainings are free for AgriLife Extension agents and specialists and $75 per
training for the general public. Payment
for trainings will be due at the time of service. Checks should be made to Texas Pest Management
Association and invoice copies are available upon request.
These Training
Days are hands-on training sessions for early career
agriculturalists and those who will be making or influencing decisions about
pests and agronomic inputs. You will
learn how to gather field data using scientific trial-proven methods. You will gain
skills on how to gather the right data to make economic decisions about agricultural
production and inputs. These are vanishing skills – with few practical
places to learn them for newcomers to the field.
Attendees
will go out in the field and learn alongside Blayne Reed, AgriLife’s Integrated
Pest Management Agent for Hale and Swisher counties. Each field scouting day will have a different
focus and you can attend whichever topics are most relevant to your needs. Each date is relevant to the crops and pests found
in the fields during this growing season.

Blayne
