The Integrated Crop and Pest Management Update is hybridized for 2022!
The Michigan State University Extension Field Crops Team will host the 2022 Integrated Crop and Pest Management Update on Monday, Dec. 19, 2022, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET. Having received positive feedback from attendees about both in-person and online formats, we will be offering the meeting as a hybrid of the two formats this year with the in-person meeting being held once again at the MSU Livestock Pavilion. The audience will include farmers, agribusiness representatives, retail sales and service professionals, and private crop consultants. Out-of-state participants are also invited to attend.
