The Winning Has Roots Tour

Nine states. Three weeks. One Willie. And absolutely no shortage of things to talk about.

TAKING YOU ACROSS THE MIDWEST TO TALK DEKALB BRAND CORN

Kicking off in Wichita, Kansas, and winding up at the 2021 Farm Progress Show® in Decatur, Illinois, the DEKALB® Winning Has Roots Tour is hitting the road. At every stop, the topic of discussion will be different. From irrigation management, drought tolerance and hybrid selection to disease management, maximizing performance and dealing with corn rootworm pressure. If it’s in your fields or on your mind, let’s talk about it.

WEEK 1

On this first leg of the tour, Willie will be interviewing technical agronomists, breeders, field sales representatives and growers in Kansas, Nebraska and the Dakotas.

WEEK 2

Breeding advancements and full-season disease management are just two of the subjects to be covered in Iowa and Minnesota.

WEEK 3

Willie will be sharing the microphone with another mix of experts to delve into subjects such as early planting, in-season performance and DEKALB trait testing.

FARM PROGRESS SHOW

This year’s tour concludes in Decatur, Illinois. Where there will be plenty of hot topics to discuss, along with plenty of hot weather.
