Winter Farm Webinars Every Tuesday

Tweet

Practical Farmers of Iowa presents winter farm webinars on a host of topics from diversification to variety selection, pest and disease management, investment, and much more…

Farminars (winter farm webinars) are held weekly each Tuesday during the fall and winter months, and run from 7–8:30 p.m. CST. Most farminars are led by farmers, and many are presented in a “fish-bowl” format where attendees listen as an experienced farmer answers a beginning farmer’s questions. Farminars air live online and allow participants to ask questions of presenters in real-time.

Farminars are Practical Farmers’ version of a webinar. These 90-minute online seminars are free and produced to help farmers learn about business and production issues that matter to them from the convenience of their homes.
