Field Notes is back for 2023!
Crop producers and agricultural professionals face a host of challenges, including pests and pest resistance concerns, agronomic issues, and soil fertility questions. The Strategic Farming program will address your crop-related concerns in a weekly, research-based webinar with specialists in the field.
Field Notes features a live webinar with interactive discussions addressing in-season cropping issues as they arise. It begins Wednesday, May 10, 2023, and continues through August 23 on Wednesday mornings from 8 to 8:30 a.m. Weekly topics will be announced on the week of the program, and may include topics related to soil fertility, agronomics, pest management, equipment, and more.
Can’t make the live session? No problem. The discussion-based series will be recorded and available at strategicfarming.transistor.fm.
