BLOOMINGTON, Ill. — In January 2025 the Illinois Soybean Association (ISA), in coordination with local partners including the University of Illinois Extension and local county Illinois Farm Bureaus, will host a series of five regional Herbicide Strategy workshops. These educational workshops will be designed to update farmers about changes in pesticide policy, help them understand the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Herbicide Strategy, and provide concrete steps they can take to prepare their farm operations.
Locally in Will County, a Herbicide Strategy Workshop will be held on January 28 at the Will County Farm Bureau.
Workshops will take place from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Anyone from the agricultural community is welcome to attend; a free lunch will be provided following the workshop. Those interested in attending should visit: https://www.ilsoy.org/latest-epa-herbicide-strategy-workshop-youre-invited/ or email Gracie Sheets (gracie.scheets@ilsoy.org) with any questions.
