Peterson Farms Seed Launches Cup of Agronomy Series

Peterson Farm Seed is bringing its Cup of Agronomy series back to eastern North Dakota and northern Minnesota, offering growers practical, field-level conversations ahead of the 2026 growing season. PFS Regional Agronomist Ben Shepard says the focus is strictly on agronomy. “We’ve got some specific topics we’ll go over for our footprint, big issues that we saw in ’25 and what we’re looking at in 26.”  Weed pressure, particularly waterhemp and the growing concern over Palmer Amaranth, will be a major topic. The events will also cover changes in herbicide use rates, stewardship practices and how weather conditions impact application effectiveness. White mold management is another key discussion point. “There’ll be some some key points on that we get into some soybean structure and if if we are in those areas where we know we’re at high risk of white mold Some of the varieties and things like that that we can go across and then also we’ll look at some seed treatments obviously some fungicides Pretty much all the management practices that we can we can hopefully help set these growers up for a good year.” For dates and more information click here.
