A regional agricultural education program will be held in Tipton County as part of the PARP Central District series, providing farmers and agribusiness professionals with timely information for the upcoming growing season.
The event is organized through Purdue University Extension and is designed to support informed and responsible crop management decisions.
The program will take place on January 23, 2026, at the Helena Agri-Enterprises Shop in Elwood, Indiana. The session is scheduled from 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
Eastern Standard Time, making it a focused morning program that allows participants to gain valuable insights without a full-day commitment.
Key topics for the program include soil fertility management, fertilizer effectiveness, and the role of adjuvants in modern crop production. These subjects are especially important as farmers continue to balance crop productivity with rising input costs and environmental responsibility.
Presentations will explain how nutrients work in the soil, how to improve fertilizer performance, and how adjuvants can support more efficient applications.
Another important focus of the program is the 2026 regulatory update. Farmers will receive clear and practical information about current and upcoming regulations that may affect nutrient application, crop protection practices, and overall farm compliance.
Understanding these rules helps producers reduce risk and plan their operations more effectively.
The program is part of Purdue Extension’s broader mission to provide research-based education to Indiana’s agricultural community. Educational events like this allow farmers to stay informed about best practices, new recommendations, and policy changes that influence daily farm operations.
The event will be led and coordinated by Diana Davis, an ANR Educator with Purdue Extension. She will serve as the primary contact for the program and will assist participants with registration details and general questions.
Overall, the Tipton County Ag Program PARP Central District session offers a valuable opportunity for farmers, advisers, and industry professionals to strengthen their knowledge, improve decision-making, and prepare confidently for the 2026 crop year through trusted extension education.
