During the week-long training, attendees learned about corn and soybean growth and development, insects, plant diseases, soil fertility, weed identification, herbicides, new technology, and sales techniques. Many sessions were hands-on in the test plots at the training center. Foundations for Success has been held in this format since 2002.
