We'd like to invite you to pull up a chair and join in, or bring the conversation with you as you go about your day. Whatever works best for you, join us this winter to discuss some of the key issues and questions around commodity crop production facing Minnesota farmers today through the “Strategic Farming: Let’s Talk Crops” webinar series. This live, online program will provide up-to-date, research-based information to help optimize your crop management strategies for 2026. Sessions will be held over Zoom, which can be accessed via your computer, phone, or other mobile device, and run from 9 to 10 a.m. Wednesdays, January 7 through March 25.
Sessions will be very informal and open to all interested. Each session will start with a brief presentation by the discussion leaders for the day, followed by a discussion framed around farmer/participant questions on the topic.
