About The In-Person Workshop
Join us for an engaging learning experience designed to build your confidence and knowledge of essential farm equipment, including basic identification, operational principles, practical applications, and the importance of proper calibration in supporting effective conservation practices. Throughout the day, participants will have ample opportunities to network with peers, connect with experts, and ask questions in an interactive setting, culminating in a hot-topic presentation during the lunch hour. In the event of rain, directional signage will be posted, and the program will be relocated a short distance down the road to the Ag Progress Days site.
