Field Crops Virtual Breakfast’s First Hot Topic of the Season

By Monica Jean

 

Join the Michigan State University Extension 2026 Field Crops Virtual Breakfast Series on Thursday, June 18 with all of your questions from the 2026 season you've been wanting to discuss. In the past, topics including insect damage, deer damage and other seasonal issues have been discussed. We typically hold two hot topic sessions each season in order to allow attendees the opportunity to ask any question.

Immediately following the Q&A, MSU Extension Agricultural Climatologist Jeff Andresen will give a detailed weather outlook and report.   

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.
