Michigan State University Extension field crops educators will be hosting the 2024 Crop and Pest Management Updates. There will be five regional meetings, as well as one virtual meeting live streamed with four proctored sites, held across Michigan to provide farmers, agribusiness professionals and others interested in agriculture the opportunity to hear from MSU specialists and educators.
Regional Crop and Pest Management Update meetings are held every year to allow MSU Extension field crops specialists and educators to bring the most recent research to you. This is a chance to interact with multiple MSU Extension specialists at one time. participants will receive a copy of the 2024 MSU Weed Control Guide. The cost of the guides, distributed during these meetings, has been generously supported by Michigan Corn, Michigan Soybean Committee and Michigan Wheat.
The topics at each site are selected by the local host and therefore will vary by site. Agendas for each of the programs will be available from local field crops educators or by calling the MSU Extension office (phone numbers listed below). Each meeting will take place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. with registration starting at 8:30 a.m.
