2026 ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ Research Field Days

Field Days is an opportunity for the public to join ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ researchers for a day of learning at our experiment farms! Tour the fields and farms and learn through presentations, tours and discussions about how we are working to enrich the lives of ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñns.

Farmers, community leaders and the general public are invited to this free educational event. Each field day will include a schedule of talks presented by researchers.
