All farmers are encouraged to attend. The course is also eligible for CCA credits – 1 CEU in integrated pest management. This webinar series will provide farmers with relevant information, resources and tools to make decisions to be economically sustainable while meeting their commitments to the environment and society.

We hope to introduce enhancements that are relevant and beneficial to both producers and industry.

The first webinar is titled Targeting Pest Management and takes place on April 4 from 12:30 p.m. – 1:30 p.m. During this webinar participants will hear from industry experts to discuss early season field topics to benefit their operation. Topics include CleanFarms with Russel Hurst and managing weeds, pre-plant with Mike Cowbrough.
