Use current data and research to strategize crop production planning. REGISTER IN ADVANCE --> go.illinois.edu/CMC
Analyzing last year’s statewide crop trends alongside current research helps to strengthen planning for the 2025 crop year. Taking time to reflect at the University of Illinois Extension Crop Management Conference helps agriculturalists develop strategies around decisions that can impact a farm’s priorities, profitability, and future.
With multiple locations and an online option, everyone can gather the information needed to make the most informed decisions for farming operations. Attendees can expect topical sessions filled with the latest production research updates from crop science experts at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences.
Up to seven continuing education units are available for certified crop advisers covering various crop production topics at in-person events. Additional presentations and CEUs are available by accessing the online content available from Feb. 23 to April 30. Access to online content is included in the registration cost for in-person events or can be purchased separately.
