What is Field Notes?

Crop producers and agricultural professionals face a host of challenges, including pest issues, agronomic concerns, and soil fertility questions. The U of MN Extension Strategic Farming program addresses your crop-related concerns through information-packed, research-based, informal discussions with specialists in the field. You can also ask questions directly to Extension faculty and staff during this program.

Strategic Farming: Field Notes features live weekly online interactive discussions on cropping issues as they arise throughout the growing season.  The 2026 season will continue through August on Wednesday mornings from 8 to 8:30 a.m. Topics will be announced each week in response to needs throughout the season, and may include issues related to soil fertility, agronomics, pest management, cover crops, equipment, and more.

You need to register only once for the season at z.umn.edu/FN2026.  You can attend any or all of the Zoom sessions.

Can’t make a live session or want to listen later when you're out in the field? No problem. Each session will be recorded and posted shortly after the live program https://strategicfarming.transistor.fm. You can also listen to the session through your favorite podcast-streaming service.  Recordings and resources from the winter’s Strategic Farming:  Let’s Talk Crops Series are also available at z.umn.edu/strategic-farming.    

There is no cost to join the Strategic Farming series thanks to generous support from the Minnesota Soybean Research and Promotion Council and the Minnesota Corn Research and Promotion Council.
