Farming Smarter will make sure you don’t miss a thing.
We rang in the new year and hit the ground running to give you plenty of chances to enhance your skills and network. This year, we bring you exciting new research and exclusive opportunities to learn firsthand.
The Farming Smarter Conference is your chance to learn new skills, meet new people, and support youth in agriculture! Along with fascinating research updates, you can enjoy listening to 4-H speakers bring the energy back to the room after a delicious catered lunch. |
Our Knowledge & Network team brings you two days of agronomy research updates and networking opportunities at the Farming Smarter Conference & Trade Show February 12 & 13. It’s the greatest place to learn about new ideas and catch up with friends.
The learning doesn’t stop there, Conservation Agronomist Ashley Wagenaar will host two new field tours in 2025. Come explore farms undertaking new ventures in sustainability and innovation this March and July!
Our annual Pesticide Applicator Workshop (#PAW25) offers 6 Pesticide Applicator credits come March 20. As always, this event is virtual and hosted on Zoom, so you can connect from your shop, home, or office. All we ask is you keep your camera on, stay engaged, and come ready to learn!
If you’re interested in our workshop but want to take advantage of our library of exclusive digital content, we encourage you to pick up a Digital Learning subscription! It’s the biggest bang for your buck, unlocking over a decade of content plus a ticket to our workshop all for one low price.
While you’re saving the date for #PAW25, make sure to take some time off this summer to take in Farming Smarter Field School, June 25 & 26. Come out and get a hands-on experience with Farming Smarter projects underway this year at what we promise will be two days of summer fun!
