Reminder! If you haven’t done so yet, it’s time to register for the 2026 “Strategic Farming: Let’s Talk Crops!” winter webinar series. Key issues and questions facing Minnesota farmers today around commodity crop production will be discussed through this live, interactive, online program. 

Sessions will be held over Zoom, which can be accessed via your computer, phone, or other mobile device, and will run from 9:00 to 10:00 am Wednesdays, January 7 through March 25, 2026. Register once for all sessions at: z.umn.edu/SF2026.

Sessions will be very informal and open to all interested. Each session will start with a brief presentation by the discussion leaders for the day, followed by discussion framed around farmer/participant questions on the topic. If you can’t join us live, all sessions will be recorded and posted for later viewing at https://z.umn.edu/strategic-farming.

Guests from University of Minnesota, neighboring state universities, and experts from industry will join the program to discuss a wide range of topics including new trends in corn and soybean production, tracking crop disease and insect issues, emerging technologies in weed and insect pest management, and navigating the markets. For the full schedule of topics and speakers, visit the Strategic Farming webpage.
