Events 

I wish we could hold our field days in person, but that is not possible this year. Our next best option is to bring the field days to you via our webinar events! I hope you can join us for one, if not all of the events listed below. The webinars are free to attend, but do require that you register. All will be recorded so if you can't join live, you can access them when you have the time.  Thank you for your support of our programming!
