Winter Ag Workshop Series
We are excited to be hosting the Winter Ag Workshop Series again this year! The 2026 series of sessions will take place during the afternoons of February 2 – 5, 2026 via Zoom. Both “live” and on-demand options are available. Attendance is open to everyone!
Attendees will be able to earn up to 8 Act 48 hours (up to 2 per session). Don’t miss the chance to learn how to bring agriculture into your classroom right from your computer!
Sessions will take place each day at 4-5 pm EST. You’ll be able to interact and ask questions of our presenters. Can’t make it at those times? No worries! You can also register to participate in an on-demand format. On demand sessions will be available until Sunday, March 8, 2026. We hope this will make it easier to attend during the school year.
