Join the Michigan State University Extension 2026 Field Crops Virtual Breakfast Series on Thursday, April 2 featuring guest speaker Christy Sprague, PhD. Sprague is a weeds specialist with Michigan State University and a professor in the Department of Plant, Soil and Microbial Sciences.
Sprague will talk about early season weed control in your field cropping system. Early season weed control helps set up a farm for season long success. Since the weather hasn’t allowed most farmers in the field yet, now is the time to get those last-minute recommendations before you start making some of your weed control decisions.
The Michigan State University (MSU) Extension Field Crops Virtual Breakfast Series sessions are held every week during the growing season via Zoom video or phone conference. These virtual meetings take place every Thursday morning from 7–8 a.m. March through September. The Virtual Breakfast Series is flexible, fluid and able to adapt when issues arise due to unforeseen growing conditions. There will be an open 20-minute Q&A session following the presentations with MSU specialists and educators. Participants are encouraged to log into the Zoom meeting 5 minutes prior to the start time for a tech check and to receive announcements.
Restricted use pesticide (RUP) credits and certified crop adviser (CCA) continuing education units are available for participants who attend the live session.
Participating is easy and free! You can join the live meeting via Zoom using a computer, tablet, mobile device or regular phone line. If you are new to Zoom, simply download the Zoom app and you will be ready to join online every week to see visuals shared by presenters. A call-in by phone option is also available but you will only hear the audio portion.
