MSU Extension Field Crops

MSU Extension specialists and educators are teaming up to bring agribusiness professionals and farmers a series of “Virtual Breakfast” meetings. These free, 30-minute online meetings will start your day off right with presentations on timely topics on crop and pest management and a weather summary and forecast. 

The live, online meetings run 7–7:30 a.m. every Thursday via Zoom during the growing season from April 1 to Sept. 23, 2021. Following the scheduled talks, discussions between farmers, educators and specialists will continue until 8 a.m.

Sign up for the Field Crops Virtual Breakfast 

If you are unable to sign up online, call the Lapeer County MSU Extension office at 810-667-0341.

Each weekly, live session will have one restricted use pesticide (RUP) credit (1A, 1B, Comm and Private Core) and Certified Crop Advisor (CCA) continuing education units (CEU).

If you can’t participate in the live session at 7 a.m., you can view the recorded version at any time (RUP and CCA credits are only eligible for the live sessions). Recordings are closed-captioned and available on this page below and on the MSU Extension Field Crops Team social media platforms: Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter.
