Shared Learning Calls
Join Us for Small Grains Shared Learning Calls
Small grains shared learning calls are conference calls where you can listen and talk with other farmers and small grains enthusiasts. Each month our speaker(s) share experiences and production practices for 40 minutes, and then we open the floor for questions and discussion. Shared learning calls usually take place on the first Friday of the month from noon-1 p.m.
We use Zoom to host these virtual events. To participate in shared learning calls, you can either join by phone or computer.
Receive reminders about future shared learning calls and get resources on small grain production delivered straight to your inbox by signing up for our monthly Small Grains News newsletter.
If you’d like to share suggestions for future shared learning call topics or speakers, please email Solveig Orngard at solveig.orngard(@)practicalfarmers.(dot)org.
