2024 Chestnut Chats

Every Other Thursday, May 23 through August 29 
1:30-2:30 p.m. ET

Michigan State University Extension will again be hosting a series of FREE interactive Zoom meetings this season to allow easy communication between producers and MSU faculty. These informal bi-weekly sessions will include crop and pest updates from Dr. Rob Sirrine and Erin Lizotte.  In addition, MSU faculty and veteran growers will drop in to address timely issues and provide research project updates. Bring your field notes too! We want to hear what’s going on in your orchard.

Meeting dates: Mark your calendar for the following meeting dates: May 23, June 6, June 20, July 18, August 1, August 15 and August 29.
