MSU Extension MI Ag Ideas to Grow With

Michigan State University (MSU) Extension hopes you enjoyed the 2021 MI Ag Ideas to Grow With conference, held virtually, Feb. 15-19, 2021. This unique event combined past MSU Extension events such as Ag Action Day, Branch County Farmers Day, and Southwest Michigan Horticulture Days into one cumulative weeklong program that encompassed many aspects of the agricultural industry and offered a full array of educational session for farmers and homeowners interested in food production and those considering agricultural endeavors. 

This week-long educational experience featured a variety of tracks focused on livestock production, fruit and vegetable production, sustainability, soil health and irrigation, in addition to horticulture and home gardening. A track was also offered for youth participants. 

The sessions throughout the week were recorded and will be made available for viewing online a few weeks after the conference. Visit the recordings tab for more information or to view the recordings, once posted.

Due to the generous support of individuals and organizational partners of this virtual event, we are pleased to offer a college scholarship opportunity for high school seniors or students who have already begun their college education.
