Crop & Weather Update

The first Purdue Extension field crop call for the season took place via zoom on April 9, 2024. These calls have been an internal tool used in Extension since 1982, when Educators and Specialists would huddle around landline telephones to give updates on production issues facing local field crop growers. In turn, the specialists on campus would give what recommendations they had to combat the issues.
As we move Extension into the 21st century, we are finding new ways to utilize technology in order to meet the in-season informational needs of crop growers.
Growers can expect the remaining Crop and Weather Updates will be posted to the Purdue on the Farm YouTube Channel on April 26, May 10, May 24, June 7, June 21, July 12, August 9, and September 13, 2024.
