Michigan State University Extension will again be hosting a series of seven interactive online meetings this season to allow easy communication between producers and Michigan State University (MSU) faculty. These informal sessions will include crop and pest updates from Rob Sirrine and Erin Lizotte from MSU Extension as well as deep dives by university specialists with topics ranging from disease management to irrigation and nutrient management. 

In addition, MSU faculty and veteran growers 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 orchard. 

These Thursday sessions will begin May 15 and run every other week through Aug. 7 from 1:30 – 2:30 p.m. Registration is free but required.
