More photos from the field day on the Kuhl farm in Sharon Township

Going out to the farm on a cool September afternoon was the perfect way to spend some time out in the Greater Manchester area.

I attended my first field day Tuesday at the Kuhl family farm on Peckins Lane in Sharon Township, midway between Manchester and Chelsea. The subject matter dealt with soybean aphids and different types of fertilizers for both soybeans and corn.

We went out into the field to observe some of the traps that had been set up for the bugs, and Ned Birkey from the Michigan State University Extension demonstrated and showed the traps to the farmers in attendance, which equaled about 30.

Here are some photos from the event, as well as a speech given by Keith Reinholt of the Michigan  Soybean Committee on aphids:
