University of Wisconsin cancels research field days
The University of Wisconsin has called off four field days so far because of coronavirus precautions.
The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences says the agronomy and soils field day at Arlington, the potato research field day at Hancock, the Wisconsin Turfgrass Association Summer Field Day, and the Rhinelander ag research station field days are canceled for this year.
The University staff will instead offer information and resources to farmers online, by newsletter, and through social media and YouTube platforms.
The University of Wisconsin has the following online resources available for producers:
- Badger Crop Connect, a webinar series featuring timely crop updates: https://fyi.extension.wisc.edu/grain/badger-crop-connection/
- Corn production: http://corn.agronomy.wisc.edu/
- Soybean production: https://coolbean.info/
- Weed management: https://www.wiscweeds.info/
- Nutrient and pest management: https://ipcm.wisc.edu/
- Fruit crops: https://fruit.wisc.edu/
Ask 90% of the farmers and the will say this is totally absurd.
