Rethink Management for Modern Crop Production by Dr. Fred Below at LIFT Agriculture Summit

Dr. Fred Below gave his Rethink Management for Modern Crop Production presentation at last year's LIFT Agriculture Summit: http://inthefurrow.com/topic/lift-sum... Dr. Fred E. Below is a Professor of Crop Physiology in the Department of Crop Sciences at the University of Illinois. He received his B.S, M.S, and Ph.D. degrees in Agronomy all from the University of Illinois. His research is focused on understanding factors limiting crop productivity, particularly corn and soybean. He has taught introductory crops courses to undergraduates, as well as advanced courses to graduate students, and given numerous presentations at national conferences and local meetings. Dr. Below developed the ‘Seven Wonders of The Corn Yield World’ as a tool to teach farmers and agricultural professionals the value of their individual crop management decisions, and he has been actively using this concept to develop a high yield system capable of sustainably producing 300 bushel per acre corn. He recently launched a similar concept for high-yield soybean termed ‘The Six Secrets of Soybean Success’ which shows considerable promise for increasing soybean yields through intensive crop management.
