The Iowa State University Extension and Outreach Crops Team is seeking sponsors for our upcoming winter programs. These programs include the Integrated Crop Management Conference (ICM), the Crop Advantage Series, Planter U, and CropsTV. Each year the Crops Team reaches over 2,000 contacts through events like these.
The mission of the Crops Team is to extend knowledge and assist Iowa farmers and agricultural stakeholders with crop production and protection information. The Crops Team has a long history of providing quality crops, soils, climate, and water quality programming to help both producers and the agribusiness industry rise to the challenge of new pest threats, stay current on new crop production research and recommendations and maximize returns. These winter programs enable us to achieve our mission. “Over 75% of attendees at the ICM conference tell us they attend for the research and technical updates,” says Angie Rieck-Hinz, extension field agronomist.
Sponsorship opportunities include bundled packages for all four winter programs as well as packages specific to each winter program. The deadline for sponsoring these programs for 2025-2026 is October 31, 2025. If you are interested in becoming a sponsor, please contact Angie Rieck-Hinz at amrieck@iastate.edu or 515-231-2830; or Erin Hodgson at ewh@iastate.edu or 515-294-2847.
