The first season of Talking Crop has been wrapped up and features ten episodes with various guest experts. These experts were from University of Illinois Extension, University of Illinois Department of Crop Sciences, University of Wisconsin-Madison Division of Extension, and Winnebago County Soil and Water Conservation District.
A variety of topics including cover crops, weed and insect control, nutrient loss reduction, digital ag and more were covered during these episodes.
The podcast was led by Kathryn Seebruck, University of Illinois Extension Commercial Agriculture Educator serving Jo Daviess, Stephenson, and Winnebago Counties. Focused on row crops, the purpose of the podcast was to provide farmers and agribusiness representatives with research updates and management considerations.
Talking Crop can be found on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and the Extension website. The links for all of these options can be found here.
The next season will begin in May 2025. In the meantime, check out our local University of Illinois Extension website for upcoming ag programming this winter!
