Towards the end of the growing season, agriculture research stations across the U.S. invite stakeholders. e.g., Certified Crop Advisors, agriculture industry professionals, farmers, and fellow Cooperative Extension colleagues from neighboring states to tour research plots.
On August 9, 2023 the Carvel Center hosted two separate tours: an agronomic field crop tour (5 stops) and a
vegetable and fruit crop tour (6 stops).
We invite our stakeholders to view the video presentations organized by the two tour options. Below each video are resources provided by the presenter(s).
