Members met at Roberts Farm Equipment outside of Lucknow. The leaders, Rebecca Miller, Kim Hooey and Leigh Hudson, had arranged for Don Storey from Landoll to speak about various types of tillage equipment. Don dis- cussed the differences between Landoll equip- ment and their competi- tors. He talked about the key features and pointed them out on the Landoll VT and Landoll Drill. Don then went into the history of the company, how it was established and how all components of the equipment are still built in a factory in Kansas. After learning about till- age equipment, members were asked to present the weed they had brought to the meeting. The club worked as a group to iden- tify weeds. Members were then split into four groups, and using their Annual Weed Identification Key identified two annual weed species given to them by Rebecca. Once all weeds had been identi- fied, Rebecca reviewed the wheat staging infor- mation from the previous meeting and went on to discuss the tillering and stem elongation stages. She then handed out wheat samples and each member was required to identify the stage using Wheat Staging Guides provided by C&M Seeds. C&M Seeds also donated Wheat Disease Guides to the members. After look- ing through this booldet, members were to identify if their wheat sample had any diseases present. It was determined that their samples had yellow lesions with black dots, and mildew on the lower canopy, which are all symptoms attributed by Septoria. The club's Vice Presi- dent, Mitchell Curran, thanked Pat Dunn from Roberts Farm Equipment for the meeting space and Don Storey for sharing his tillage knowledge. The club would also like to extend a thank you to C&M Seeds for their wheat identification guides.
