Women landowners can improve knowledge at Agronomy in the Field

Women landowners, farmers and ag retailers will have the opportunity to meet again throughout this winter to learn more about agronomy and related agricultural topics through distance-learning sessions of Agronomy in the Field. Agronomy in the Field distance-learning sessions will continue monthly through April. Sessions will start at 6 p.m. and typically last until 7:30 p.m. These sessions will be provided through a web-conferencing program, so women can join online from the comfort of their own home, or participate in a watch party offered at several local county extension offices across the state. Contact agronomyinthefield@iastate.edu to find out which county offices are hosting these sessions.

Remaining dates and topics include:

February 18 – Growing Season Weather Outlook and Weather Resources
March 17 – Planning for Successful Implementation of a Herbicide Program Resources
April 7 – Early Season Scouting Tips and Tricks.

Contact Rieck-Hinz, Anderson, and Vittetoe, at agronomyinthefield@iastate.edu, to receive access to web-conferencing.
