The 2020 Ontario Virtual Crop Diagnostic Days was a huge success and builds on the long tradition the annual Field Crop Diagnostic Days held at Ridgetown, Elora and Winchester established just in a different format.
Our success would not be possible without our participants, sponsors, speakers and all the volunteers involved! A big thanks from all of us! The 2020 episodes are still available for viewing here – https://fieldcropnews.com/2020/08/2020-ontario-virtual-diagnostic-days/
COVID-19 has created many unique challenges and the safety of all those involved is of utmost concern.
Although the summer in-field Ridgetown, Elora and Winchester events have been cancelled again this year, the organizing committees have decided to combine Southwest (Ridgetown), Elora and Eastern Ontario (Winchester) Crop Diagnostic Days into a provincial diagnostic video series for a second season with the support of our sponsors.
The 2021 Ontario Virtual Diagnostic Days will consist of a 1-hour episode every two weeks that started July 20 through October 26.
Each episode will consist of a general field crop agronomic theme with various topics which are current and relevant to farmers, crop consultants, retailers basically anyone involved in agriculture!
