2026 Twilight Meetings

Twilight Meetings give agronomic crop growers an opportunity to discuss and exchange ideas and information to improve their crop operations. The concept is to provide support and education to experienced crop growers by touring a local farm. Typically, these meetings are in person and University or Industry professionals may attend meetings to help facilitate or structure the programming.
