SDSU Extension to Host Ag Cybersecurity Workshop

South Dakota State University Extension will host an agriculture cybersecurity workshop and public seminar to highlight results from three collaborative research projects between SDSU and Dakota State University.

Learn how data is secured as it is transferred from monitoring instruments to the cloud and how artificial intelligence is used to detect crop anomalies for precision management. Faculty, graduate students and undergraduate students interested in learning more about agriculture cybersecurity related to precision agriculture are especially encouraged to attend.

The workshop is from noon to 5 p.m. on Nov. 12, 2025, at McCrory Gardens in Brookings, with a mixer and networking dinner from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Registration is required, and tickets are $50 per person. To register, visit the SDSU Extension Events page and search “cybersecurity”.

Understanding the Blackleg & Verticillium Connection Webinar

Video: Understanding the Blackleg & Verticillium Connection Webinar

This webinar will explore the emerging connection between blackleg and verticillium stripe in canola, two diseases increasingly shaping yield risk across the Prairies. Presented by Ian Epp of Sask Oilseeds, the session will unpack current research and field observations that highlight how blackleg infection may influence the development and severity of verticillium stripe later in the season.

You will gain insight into disease biology, environmental drivers, and the role of variety selection, rotation, and management decisions in reducing overall disease pressure. The webinar will also connect the dots between early-season disease management and long-term risk, helping growers and agronomists better anticipate challenges and adapt strategies for more resilient canola production.
