Wayne County Corn Day Scheduled

Penn State Cooperative Extension in cooperation with Honesdale Farm & Garden, Cochecton Mills, Seedway and Helena Chemical invite all area farmers to the 2009 Wayne County Corn Day on September 18 at the Hank Curtis Farm in Waymart.

Featured at the 2009 Corn Day is a corn silage variety trial consisting of 15 silage varieties, planted side-by-side for easy comparison. Participants will have the opportunity to walk through the trial and evaluate each variety. Seed company representatives will be on hand to show their varieties and discuss new corn genetics for the 2010 growing season.

The event will run from 11:00 AM - 2:00 PM, with a free lunch provided to all attendees. The Hank Curtis farm is located on Cavage Road, just off route 6 between Prompton and Waymart. Contact Dave Messersmith at the Extension office at 570-253-5970 x 4110 for more information.

Penn State is committed to affirmative action, equal opportunity, and the diversity of its workforce.
