Close to 300 people turned out for NorthStar Genetics' annual soybean information day held Thursday in Morris.

"If you're into western Manitoba, we have Watsons, which are a hot seller. As you go more into the Red River Valley, Jordans have performed extremely well on farm and led most of the trials that they were in...I really encourage you to contact your local Northstar Genetic dealer to make sure that you're putting the right genetics on your farm, based on your soil conditions and farming equipment."

Some of the topics discussed at the event included crop rotations, disease & weed management, and the markets.

There was also discussion around corn, and growing for the future.
