Michigan State University Extension will be hosting a series of interactive Hop Chat Zoom meetings during the 2026 growing season to allow easy communication between producers and MSU educators and faculty. These informal twice/month sessions will include weather, crop, and pest updates from MSU Extension’s Rob Sirrine and Erin Lizotte. In addition, MSU faculty and specialists will drop in to address timely issues and provide research project updates. Bring your field notes too! We want to hear what’s going on in your hopyard.
