Virtual session series focuses on getting ready for #harvest22.
Is the combine ready to roll? What extra parts should you have on hand? And are you ready to accept all that fresh data? The latest Farm Progress 365 virtual sessions – July 26, 27 and 28 – will dig into those topics in depth.
Farm Progress 365 is a new service providing farmers a growing library of useful information, and access to live events. A series of monthly seasonal sessions targets hot topics during the ag year and with harvest approaching, the next sessions are taking on that challenge.

And as part of these regular seasonal sessions, the final event on July 28 willl be an update on the markets.
Every event features live Q&A with speakers involved offering you a real-time chance to get some questions answered. Check out this latest series of speakers.
