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 for the rest of the hour. 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.
