Strengthen farm management decisions by attending a local Illinois Extension Agronomy Summit

University of Illinois Extension’s annual Illinois Agronomy Summits are back. The statewide winter meetings are held in various locations across the state to reach more producers, stakeholders, industry professionals, and the public with the latest agronomic research updates.
