What will be covered? (See flyer for more specific info by session)

Do you have field crops scouts working for you this summer? Do you have a training program? You should consider sending them to our field crops scouting school. This group will be a cohort for all sessions and enrollment is limited to 30 participants to keep it very hands on.

This program will run over 3 dates to not only teach identification and basic scouting practices from the classroom, but also to emphasize what is going on in the field at various points of the season. The first day will be a full day with half in the classroom doing basic weed ID, scouting basics, deficiency ID, etc. From that point forward, the rest of the events will be in the field scouting and identifying issues present.
