Crop School Moves To Online Format

The province's Crop Diagnostic School is moving to an online format this year.
 
Anastasia Kubinec is Manager of Crop Industry Development with Manitoba Agriculture.
 
"We still have people in the field doing things but it's all recorded," she said. "Instead of folks having to worry about getting a sunburn, they can watch at their leisure at home. It's not where you have to go through all the content in one day, how we've set it up this year, people actually have a month once they get in. It opened July 7th and it closes August 7th."
 
The event normally takes place at the University of Manitoba research site in Carman.
