Iowa State University’s Integrated Crop Management Conference was held in December 2021 following a hiatus in 2020 due to the pandemic and it was apparent that attendees, as well as presenters, were happy to be back. Considered one of Iowa's best crop production education events, the conference draws a large number of farmers, crop advisers, industry members, researchers and educators from across Iowa.

A number of ISRC affiliates participated in the conference including cropping systems and modeling specialist Sotirios Archontoulis, agriculture economist Chad Hart, agricultural engineer Matt Helmers, weed specialist Prashant Jha, Iowa Soybean Association director of analytics Peter Kyveryga, cropping systems specialist Mark Licht, soil and fertility specialist Antonio Mallarino, crop plant pathologists Daren Mueller and Alison Robertson, nematologist Greg Tylka and agriculture economist Wendong Zhang. The two-day conference covered 32 topics across crop, pest, soil fertility and soil and water management areas.
