About the In-Person Conference
Join us for the Penn State Extension Crops Conference, a day-long program where field and forage crop specialists, educators, and guest speakers will review the 2025 growing season, highlight innovations for the year ahead, and share research-based insights on agronomy, products, and technology. New this year, the conference offers six educational tracks covering nutrient management, PSB Main Stage, core requirements, forages, integrated pest management, and accessory pesticide education, with numerous certification credits available.
