Illinois Extension Crop Management Conference Equips Agriculturalists For Upcoming Growing Season

By Jenna Braasch

How individuals strategize their next farming season can differ from one farmer, landowner, producer, or industry professional to the next. University of Illinois Extension’s online-only Crop Management Conference allows more time to plan and strategize with the resources most beneficial to today’s farms from the comfort of home. 

The conference allows attendees to dig deeper into current crop production issues and better understand how they can impact the upcoming growing season. With exclusive presentations developed for the online-only conference, attendees can tune in and take notes from just about anywhere. 

“With busy schedules and limited time as we prepare for another growing season, it’s important to reach agronomists and crop advisors where they are,” says Talon Becker, Extension commercial agriculture specialist. “The online conference gives attendees easier access to the latest findings from University-led research, equipping them with the information they need to support their farmer clients’ priorities, profitability, and future success.”    

Crop producers, agriculture consultants, industry professionals, and students can expect topical presentations filled with the latest production research updates from crop science experts with the College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
