The province’s four big crop commissions are “working together to continue the legacy of Agronomy Update.” The annual conference, formerly put on by Alberta Agriculture and Forestry, will be a virtual affair this winter.

This year’s event will be held Jan. 19-20 and will feature “a slate of high-quality speakers on a range of interesting and relevant topics,” the wheat, canola, barley and pulse commissions said in a news release.

The conference features leading scientists and agronomy experts on topics such as disease, insect, weed and soil management.

A committee of researchers, agronomists, ag retailers, and farmers is working on a lineup and the agenda and registration details will be available soon, the commissions said.
