Top Crop Summit

Tue, Feb 23, 2021 12:00 PM – 2:15 PM EST
Wed, Feb 24, 2021 12:00 PM – 2:15 PM EST
The 2021 Top Crop Summit will connect farmers and agronomists with the latest agronomic research and production tips through a two-day online educational program.
Since 2016, Top Crop Manager has brought together farmers, agronomists and crop consultants with experts from the ag community to share new research, production practices and actionable strategies. Each year, our goal is to help farmers stay on top of crop management practices and trends to remain a strong farming operation. In 2021, our esteemed speakers will present the latest agronomic strategies, fieldwork and technologies to help you prepare for your upcoming season.
Although our platform for 2021 has shifted, attendees will receive the same great content they have come to associate with the Top Crop Manager brand. New for 2021, we’re expanding the conference program with a series of live and on-demand presentations curated for attendees located in Eastern Canada on Feb. 23 and Western Canada on Feb. 24.
This interactive event will arm you with the tools and information you need to kick off a successful growing season.
