The University of Idaho Extension (U of I) will continue Ag Talk Tuesday this spring and summer. Ag Talk Tuesdays are virtual sessions about agriculture, held via Zoom, with U of I professionals and peers to discuss current crop issues and timely topics as the field season progresses.
Every session begins with crop updates, where U of I personnel and attendees are invited to provide the group with updates of current season crop issues. Featured topics and guest speakers follow the round-table crop updates.
