2026 KSU-TAPS Twilight Tour & Farm Duel
Thursday, Sept. 10, 2026 | Colby, Kansas
Join KSU-TAPS for an evening in the field exploring the management decisions, technology and research behind the 2026 competition — followed by dinner and Farm Duel, where you can put your own decision-making skills to the test.
The Twilight Tour brings together TAPS competitors, producers, university researchers and industry partners to compare strategies, see how decisions are playing out during the growing season and talk about the tools and information shaping crop management.
Whether you’re already involved with TAPS or simply interested in production agriculture, technology and on-farm decision-making, you’re invited to join us.
