The Post Rock Extension District is a very diverse cropping district with major crops including corn, grain sorghum, hay, soybeans and wheat.

K-State Research and Extension is an excellent resource to help producers with their questions on variety selection, fertility management, weed control recommendations along with disease and insect management. We have provided for you several links to our extensive K-State Research and Extension publications that are a “click” away with documented research for your cropping enterprises.

We are here for YOU to provide research-based information to help make decisions in your cropping operation. This might be through individual consultation, a farm visit or simply a phone call, email or text.

We offer a variety of crop production workshops, updates, and tours throughout the year. Many are held annually, but some are rotated every few years.
