Walking the Line: Real-World Ethics in Agronomy and Soil Science

Date: Thursday, January 8, 2026
Time: 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM Central

What does it really mean to uphold the Code of Ethics in the field? Join us for a candid, interactive workshop where experienced Certified Crop Advisers (CCAs) and Certified Professional Soil Scientists (CPSSs) share real-world ethical challenges they’ve faced—and how they navigated them. Moderated by Societies staff, this panel-driven session invites participants to reflect, discuss, and apply the Code in practical, sometimes tricky, scenarios that professionals encounter in the field, lab, and office.

Developing Safe and Inclusive Fieldwork Settings

Date: Tuesday, January 13, 2026
Time: 11:00 AM - 12:15 PM Central

Fieldwork is an important and transformative part of science. However, it also carries higher risk of harassment and sexual assault. Join us for this webinar where we will discuss fieldwork safety and provide best practices and resources for field leaders and participants to ensure inclusive and safe environments, with a particular focus on ensuring all are safe (esp. those with marginalized genders, sexual orientations, and ethnicities).

Precision Nutrition for Modern Corn: Optimizing N × S to Capture High-Yield Gains

Date: Thursday, February 5, 2026
Time: 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM Central

During the 2025 cropping season 10 researchers from 9 states across the United States (Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Mississippi, Arkansas, Oklahoma and California) implemented a unified protocol in the effort to better understand the influence of sulfur on corn production and more specifically the impact on the response to nitrogen fertilizer. This webinar will discuss the rationale for the implementation of project and the early results.

Sponsored by The Sulphur Institute.

Speakers:
Alan D Blaylock, Ph.D., Sr. Agronomist, Nutrien Inc
Dr. Brian Arnall, Professor, Precision Nutrient Management, Oklahoma State University

Beyond N x S: How Ca & K Drive Nitrate Assimilation and Protein Production

Date: Thursday, February 12, 2026
Time: 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM Central

How do we turn applied nitrogen into protein and yield rather than losses? This webinar moves beyond the nitrogen × sulfur conversation to examine nitrate assimilation as a protein-production system. While sulfur plays a critical role, nitrogen use efficiency is ultimately governed by a broader set of biological and nutritional processes, including calcium. Learn how potassium and secondary macronutrients like calcium, sulfur, and magnesium work together to drive N-efficiency. Drawing from global research and on-farm observations, speakers challenge convention to explore balanced nutrient strategies, including polyhalite, to improve NUE, protein formation, and yield stability.

Speakers:
Dr. Jason Haegele, Marketing & Innovation Manager, ICL NA 
Dr. AJ Foster, North America Agronomy Lead, ICL NA, PhD, CPAg, CCA
