Hoegemeyer Hybrids will be celebrating 75 years in the seed business at its annual Homecoming Field Day on Thursday, Aug. 9, 2012. The information-packed event will feature three guest speakers, insightful breakout sessions and tours of Hoegemeyer seed plots and facilities.
This year’s keynote speaker will be Michael Boehlje, a Distinguished Professor in the Department of Agricultural Economics and the Center for Food and Agricultural Business (CAB) at Purdue University. Dr. Boehlje is involved in teaching, research and executive education in agricultural finance, farm and business strategy and management and structural change in the agricultural industries. The major theme of his work is the importance of strategic planning and thinking, and positioning the farm for long-term success in a turbulent business climate.
Hoegemeyer agronomists and product managers will also be available to provide details on Hoegemeyer products and answer questions from growers. Corn, soybean and alfalfa technology updates will be provided, along with information on cover crops.
“We want to thank everyone who has trusted and believed in our brand for the past 75 years,” Hoegemeyer General Manager Stephan Becerra says. “The event is geared to show our appreciation and provide thought-provoking information in a fun, family atmosphere.”
Guests who book seed at Homecoming will receive an early booking discount, as well as a limited edition Hoegemeyer shop stool and personalized seed advice.
The annual Homecoming Field Day draws hundreds of growers from across the Western Corn Belt to Hooper, Neb., the home of Hoegemeyer Hybrids since it began 75 years ago. The free event runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and lunch will be provided.
